Is That Really Me?

by Arcane Blondie   Jul 3, 2006


I stand,
Staring into the mirror at the person being reflected,
Is that really me?
For a minute I look,
Look at myself the way other people do,
Thick, black eyeliner,
A solemn, unfriendly face,
Black nails-with middle fingers painted red,
My message to the stereotypical world,
And the black clothes, elastics, and chains,
Is that really me?
Who have I become?
I glance into my eyes,
I stare directly into the hurt-the pain,
They look back in a stare of hatred,
A stare full of distrust,
One that is usually returned by other people,
Other people that show no empathy,
Who have I become?
Is this really me?
Yes- is the answer echoed by my heart.

    Ohh.. wow! That was a good poem.
    I know the feeling. That reminded me of my teenage years, where I use to stare into the mirror and question my life, myself and everything around me. Really good poem.

    It's not my style of writing, but I loved the message...for it purtains to me so well. Staring in the mirror asking if this is really me...It amazes me sometimes that it is. Great job portraying that.

    I love your poem and just want you to know that you shouldn't be ashamed of what you've become because you are who you are!!! There's nothing wrong with that

    'My message to the stereotypical world'

    Wow! That line really made a huge impact on the poetry. The way you portray yourself through your own eyes. And the way you ask and answer your own questions.

    Great poem.

    Peace. [Sole]
