    OH MY LORD

    Karla this is so unbelievably sad and terrifying at the same time. Such heartbreak in the words, it truly has taken me back a step and woah!

    Firstly I lovvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvve the whole her mind was a suicide note written with shattered glass. Oh what an image this was. Her thoughts and her own images about life is her suicide note but the fact that it is in her mind makes me think if she does commit suicide, no one will know why unless she writes it down. For it to be in her mind though makes me think of the hardship she is going through and the pain that she is in.

    I love that you have written that she shot the mirror rather than herself and used the broken glass to cut herself. She didn't feel anything again makes me think that she is emotionally numb and in so much pain that nothing can help her.

    Karla this poem has really touched me and I'm in complete awe of your writing.

    AWESOME poem.

    "Her mind was a suicide note written with shattered glass"
    This line is the one that stands out the most in this poem.
    I love this poem because many of us have done things that we regret and I feel like this woman has so many. The idea of looking at her reflection in the mirror and then shooting her reflection is outstanding. It leaves a well define image to the reader, aside from that the woman got a piece of the broken mirror and cut herself but just as her reflection or herself when she shot the reflection, didn't feel anything. She this time doesn't feel anything again even when she is cutting herself. That's sad, how much pain must that woman be feeling inside that not even the injures are hurting.

    Awesome piece

    There is such pain written here Karla.( I dont like that word reflex I like reflection better) The imagery is really good and is a very emotional piece, to be sooooo numb not to be able to feel glass cutting her skin....gosh this is so deep...

    she is such a sad woman and sadness drips like her blood in between each line. I loved this one from you Karla but then again I love all the magic things that you write here for us

    Your writes are inhumane!
    With every other stanza, the nuances of the woman become clearer and clearer to my eyes. You have penned a masterpiece here as you portrayed the shadowed part of a woman who suffers from loneliness in life. This was mega-epic, Karla.. I was touched from head to toe. MAGIC!
