Nothing to gain

by Kaila   Mar 4, 2007


The stares
They hurt
The whispers
Bring discomfort

The eyes
They burn into her soul
She can feel them seeing right through her
And they never seem to let go

The glares
Receiving is pain
And she has nothing left
To gain

The mirror
Brings only more hurt into her life
It just makes it harder to live
And to deal with all the strife

The happiness around her
Makes her jealous with envy
And yet shes left standing there
Feeling empty

She sees the love
She'll never receive
And the loving words they try to give
I know is only to deceive

She hopes for a better future
One without all the pain
But from now on she's here
With nothing left to gain

    I actually really like the subject, like really love it. i think your vocab is great. your rhymes were aight, a couple were a little if-y... but sall good. and i really felt a connection with the girl you were explaining
    but i dont think there was really a rhythm in it. i kinda just ended up reading it like a story...
    but yea, really good job
    5/5

    I don't believe that anybody can look in the mirror and be truly happy with everything about thereselves, it's normal to feel unhappy with certain things. I liked the poem and the choice of words was great, the flow was good and the imagery was very real. Excellent work 5/5

    I think that the title is great! And that the flow whilst unusual worked!

    I like the ending stanza, it was the most powerful of your whole poem and made your feeling more expressed. It summed up the poem well. You should try to start using punctuation on your poetry, I find it's a lot easier for a fellow poet to read your poem and get the flow you want if you put commas or periods or maybe none at all to show no pause. Just a word of advice. But kudos.
