The Girl in the Mirror

by BrokenREALiTy   Oct 19, 2006


I see a girl that looks at me,
Tears streaming down her cheeks.
I want to help her so badly,
But I don't know the answer that she seeks.

She's running away,
Trying to get away from life.
She's thought about it,
About going to the knife.

She's tried not to remember,
Tried so hard to forget.
Can't believe the choice she made,
A choice that she'd regret.

And look at her now,
Cheeks covered in mascara stains.
The little pieces of her heart,
Is all that remains.

I can't stand to see her crying,
While her heart just bleeds.
I search her eyes for an answer,
To what she needs.

She`s finally began to see,
That it`s been her fault all along.
That she`s the one that brought this on,
And she couldn't stay strong.

If only I could help her,
'Cause I know she's hurting inside.
But it`s because she was gullible,
That she believed him when he lied.

I do my best to comfort her,
But the more I see her, the more I fear.
'Cause I'm starting to realize,
That I'm the girl in the mirror.

Too short . I need to add more into this to improve it, but I can't think straight. Any feedback, advice?

    I personally don't think a poem needs to be long to be good. I like this the way it is, Except I do think you could maybe make the stanza's within the same size for flow reasons instead of one longer than the other but seriously, the length is great. Twas emotional and well expressed.
    Good job =)
