Seed of hate

Reflection, reflection.
What do you see?.
Weakness and dirt.
Shame upon thee.

Mirror, mirror.
Eyes and stares.
Guilt and horror.
Beyond despair.

Who's there?
Not I, anymore.
Washed but still unclean.
Defiled!

Doctor, doctor.
I beg of thee.
remove my pain.
And memory.

Father, Father.
You married me.
the kingdom awaits?
Once, perhaps.

Devil, devil.
Why?, why?, WHY?!.
here i now lay.
Empty, defeated.

Child, child.
That lives in me.
blameless seed.
of atrocity.

real life metaphors and metere..nice balance here..like last verse best blameless seed of atrocity..

[Crow]

A well versed piece that paints a vivid image pain and self-loathing may erupt from what we perceive.

I sense your meaning within myself; Well done!

[Raven Starhawk]

Brilliant. I can see myself as the one gazing into the mirror and seeing a person whom for years I have grown to loathe but now consider a mutual partner in life. That might not make much sense but this poem makes all the sense to me.
