MYSELF

by Brandy Sansotta   Apr 21, 2005


I look in the mirror,
I hate what I see.
Its all your fault, you did this to me.
You used to tell me I was your queen, the most beautiful girl your eyes had ever seen,
Now that we're married things have really changed.
All you do is put me down and scream and shout.
I look in the mirror and I see what you see,
I'm not fat, but you say that I am so thats what I see.
You tell me I am ugly and you can do better than me,
Oddly enough thats all that I see.
I hate myself and all that I am.
All thats keeping me on this Earth are my kids.
Its not you, you're the reason I hate myself

    I love what you are writing about my friend....it's a powerful to be so effected by the opinions of others...especially someone you love.

    One thing i would say though...is that this piece is very blunt...obviously an emotional stream, written very quickly...but you could try and say things by inferring them with some subtlety....and maybe lose some words that make the poem sound more like a paragraph of a story.

    Good luck...and break all your mirrors.
