Mirror, Mirror

vanabba3



Mirror, mirror, down the hall,

In my room and on the wall.

Covered in a grungy sheet,

I take it off, my room complete.

 

The mirrors reflection is what I see,

but one thing missing, I don't see me!

In disbelief, and much apprehension,

my body is filled with grief and tension.

 

I look inside the mirrors aged glass,

my grief and tension so quickly pass,

My racing thoughts I see quite clear,

reflecting back in this Gothic mirror.

 

I make a wish, I hope comes true,

it seems like a lot for this mirror to do 

Make the kids at school all pay,

for hateful things they do and say 

 

The evening approaches, I get ready for bed,

not knowing the future or what's lying ahead.

The moon is so clear, on this dark autumn night,

I hope that the mirror will get everything right.

 

I awake in the morning and walk to my school,

filled with revenge, I want to break all the rules.

Now at the school, there's no mischief to be,

nothing odd or abnormal, from what I can see.

 

The teachers on time, not missing a beat,

and everyone's racing to find them a seat.

Minutes pass by and then cautious appears,

my dream has arrived, a class filled with fears.

 

Kids burst into flames, from head to their toes,

good kids are spared, as evil passes each row.

I am quite safe, my friends filled with fright,

the mirror claims my victims, massacre delight!

  • Comment from author about the poem: The main message for this poem is to be careful what you wish for. The main character might feel redemption now, but how long will this feeling last? Does the main character stop here? Or will the mirror have more work to do? If so,at what cost?

    Oh dear. I wonder what criteria the mirror used to judge the bad kids. Were they simply mean to the main character, or is there a universal metric that measures out the good and bad kids? I wonder if it’s the main character’s simple view of good and bad that sets his fellow students alight. If he one day regrets this wish, viewing his actions to be bad, will he too burst into flames?
