A Tarnished Mirror

by Jessica   Oct 7, 2006


Violently scratching at my hysterical pale reflection
Screaming with annoyance when blood doesn't appear
Staring plaintively at every defect and imperfection
Fiery hatred burns into pupils, black trickles in salty tears..

Staring into a tarnished mirror, staring at another me
Hiding away beneath layers of slaughtered, damaged skin
Lays a soul trapped within, it cannot escape, cannot be free
Slowly forming solid fists, my perplexed head starts to spin..

Silently pounding a stained mirror, I split into pieces
Crimson pain runs from my fists, cracks in me finally show
A perfect life crumbling to the ground, a soul it releases
Magic within me flows away, a remedy you did bestow..

    The only bad thing i can find aobut your poetry is that the lines a a little long, so the flow is a little.. confusing.

    Other than that this poem is so beautiful and amazing. its awesome. i love it. it shows the life and struggles of so many girls(and guys)
    Very Emotive.!!
