Me In The Mirror

by Sarahlyn   May 24, 2010


I look into the mirror,
But what is it I see?
A person I'm not happy with,
Right in front of me.

This girl with no model's body,
And an imperfect face.
To see my own appearance,
Is such a big disgrace.

This person in the mirror,
Makes me want to cry.
No one will ever love this girl,
It makes me want to die.

I find myself tearing up,
At the sight of me.
Why can't I just accept myself,
For all that I can be?

    I don't think you are tearing me apart. In all great honesty. I know I'm not the greatest poet. In fact, it was a quick poem i jotted down. But writing poetry is a pasttime I like to do, and hope to get better at. Thankyou for your critique.

    I think this poem is a great start and please, don't thnk I am am trying to tear you apart by what I say. You emotions are raw and real and deserve to be expressed and if your poetry serves that purpose for you then I would say change none of it. The difficulty with poetry, as it is with most writing, is that the stories have been told and said already, which doesn't make yours any less real, but offers you a challange to write you story in a new way, to express it in a way that will make others take notice and want to read about your story. Best of luck to you.
