Victor Bolshov said:

Strong words. And very relatable. God is too often too inhumane, although they say we were made \"in the image and likeness\"

Caring dove said:

Good poem . I think mirrors can be difficult to look into sometimes

I think they can show us how we might be feeling / what we donโ€™t like etc

Sometimes I see a stranger in the mirror ..

NO. Yes. Yes and No. Both/and, as well as neither, depending. My self-esteem and self-image has been a struggle for me all of my life. Powerful and probing poem that asks a tough, but important question. Wonderful job, my friend. ๐ŸŒน๐Ÿ‘

A most reflective write Tobani lol Never the less it has always bothered me that I see neither in that the image is changed left to right and I suppose that fraction of milli-milli second that it takes for the light to get from the mirror to my eye it is what I used to be. Always loved thought provoking poems and this was one cleverly done.

Your words reflect the timeless dance between past and presentโ€”deeply moving. A mirror indeed reveals more than the eye can see.

Dan Williams said:

Not sure if keeping all that grief suppressed is a good thing. Why no tears? You are allowed.

How Does it Feel?.
Tristan Robert Lange said:

Wow! A powerful poem, Natiella! You and I clearly had the same way of processing the shit we dealt with at school. Glad for it too. This one hit home for me, being someone who was brutally bullied. Thank you for sharing. ๐ŸŒน๐Ÿ‘

People most usually judge by appearances so we find it most useful to look the part on the surface level. Sad truth๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

sorenbarrett said:

A broken heart can only be seen through its symptoms of tears, lethargy and facial features. Like a fever revealing an infection it needs attention. An excellent metaphor and nicely written.

A first person account of bullying on the receiving side and its effects speaks rawly in poetic form. Very nice

How Does it Feel?.
arqios said:

The wounds once sharp
now dullโ€” not vanished,
but understood.
Strength came slow,
beneath each bruise,
in the silence where
fear could not last.
You sought power in fistsโ€”
I found it in walking away.

Cheeky Missy said:

Where in the world do you get these?! My la! How perfectly horrifying, macabre, ghastly, nightmarish! There\'s no hope of deliverance since the mirror is guilty, no human. Goodnight! What a chilling piece for Monday. Superbly rendered with excellent imagery and a terrifying poignancy. Thank you for sharing.
