Seriously

Great job for a small powerful poem that you always pull off.

your first three words really hit home because paranoia can be so controlling in our own lifes either from ourselves or by someone else. It is not an easy thing to over come when it becomes a safety net in order to protect yourself. What happens more often than not is you suspect everything will hurt you and you stay clear from it but then in the end you hurt anyway because staying away from everything leaves you very lonely in life.

I wish it was easy for insecurities to be put onto the back seat while reality overpowers them and shows us the real truth. In your poem I can feel the 2 battling for front seat.

I love your ending, sometimes paranoia and the insecurities inside of someone beautiful can actually shatter their beauty and leave them very ugly people on the inside because they let these things take over and they lose their beauty and their kindness which is awful to see someone change this way.

I loved how I could take so much from this little poem, well done.

This was so interesting Andrea! I kind of got the feeling everything was twisted, and that the truth made opposite. In my mind I guess I see breaking a mirror as shattering the broken person who has been staring back at you, it gives you a chance to be the real you without dependence on the mirrors. I loved the provoking image of it meaning differently though, of having the real you be broken. Such a short write but I had to read a few times, I loved how you mentioned paranoia becoming security, as maybe a person can only now see this side of life and having this anxiety is a relief somehow. This person is not concerned with any insecurities? Just some thoughts, I'm not sure behind the real meaning but wanted to say this was deep in my mind! Thank you for sharing this :]
