Out From The Mirror

by Poet on the Piano   May 21, 2012


You can open them up now.
It's over, the fog that covered you
were only blankets of fear-
clinging, clawing at you.

but misty eyes will not
change you.

It was your soul
the nightly blades searched for,
but your blood won't be
written on the walls.

For when you take
away the looking glass,
you'll finally live
and breathe through -you-

    A wonderful message. people are so caught up on looks nowadays that they don't stop to actually get to know a person.

    this is very well written, great job. 5/5 :)

    I agree with Moonlit, not to get caught up in the appearance and just be yourself, that is exactly the message I got from reading this poem as well.

    I would change fogs to fog, though. It tripped me up when the rest of the piece flowed quite naturally. :) Beautifully written!

      Thanks for reading it Britt! And I made the change you suggested, I agree the flow is more natural with it singular. Thanks :)

    This was a great poem. It reminded me of don't worry what you look like. Your fine just the way you are. Sometimes we get caught up in the moment and don't realize we just need to be ourselves. Great write. :)
