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 present—deeply moving. A mirror indeed reveals more than the eye can see.

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

My heart has been broken so many times, I think I have lost some the pieces. Man, this hits home again, Tobani! Great work, my friend! 🌹👏💔❤️🩹

How Does it Feel?.

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. 🌹👏

People most usually judge by appearances so we find it most useful to look the part on the surface level. Sad truth🕊️🙏🏻

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

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

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.

I thought I recognized that man. That familiar old cynical smile. That judgmental stare. Nicely done, PL. I really “reflected” on this one.

I always love the unexpected, this added the metaphor to give it double strength and power. To spice it up some rhyme and near rhyme, a dramatic setting and what more could you want? I love how well woven the metaphor is. That of self destruction that has no mercy. A definite fave
