Mirror

Jal

I don't like what looks back at me in the mirror

The flaws has never been more clearer

I can try to hide the fact

But it always seems to come back

That thing that watches me in the mirror

 

It's thoughts tell of rot and eventual decay

It wishes to share, but there's no words to say

It runs, it tries it's best

But down it feels in it's chest

It can't run away from the deep-rooted decay

 

It bleeds regret and it swallows lies

It's very hand hurts those in it's life

It's tongue is split and bitter

It's love brings blight and wither

It's very self is one pure lie

 

I don't like what looks back at me in the mirror

It's thoughts has never been more clearer

No matter what my head comes to bring

I will always be that pathetic thing

It that stares back from the mirror

  • Comment from author about the poem: It feels like the harder I try, the easier it is to fall right back into the same routine. Happy, depressed, happy, depressed. Gotta love how that works. But, yknow, maybe if I can just hold on to a smile and give it some effort, maybe I can delay the inevitable thoughts again, even for another day, yeah? Yeah. If only for another day.

    Self loathing ministers from the pit.
    We are all made in God's image
    That's no shit
    From the depths of despair
    We all can grow
    To take our inheritance
    At the foot of the throne.

  • L. B. Mek

    a relatable read, thanks for sharing
    (maybe, we need only realise
    'it's okay: to not - be ok'
    then, afford that mirror reflection
    a small merciful smile
    as your poetry, wisely suggests
    and let that
    be our anchor, to fall back upon
    when the sea's
    start getting rough, yet again
    when we arrive
    at those brief, still waters of relief
    we find a new anchor
    add to our survivor's fight, armoury
    one anchor, at a time
    we forge our unbreakable, spine
    fly our flag, high
    on that mast of self-excavated
    worth! and
    in each daybreaks, Aurora success
    hope for the best)
