World In the Mirror

I was in Buisness class when I wrote this. We were supposed to be typing after all & improving our typing speed & this is a lot more productive than a set paragraph. So I was daydreaming about a poems I read about mirrors & mymind twisted &

 

Sometimes we all wish we could disappear.

Leave not a trace behind that we were here.

Escape into the night from all the sadness & fear.

Enter another world. Step through the mirror.

 

A fantasy of my own heart's creation.

A peaceful land, a mellow nation.

Filled with laughter & pleasent sensations.

Every tired spirits dream destination.

 

A place where misery’s so far away.

Where heartbreak & pain are kept at bay.

Nightmares no longer creep whilst thy lay,

Sleeping peacefully through the day.

 

On the other side, in another place.

Someone’s staring at me with a stranger’s face.

Tattered & worn, she continues to pace.

A starved soul, fallen far from grace.

 

Her world now was once mine,

Before I escaped inside my mind.

I was searching for a peace I could not find.

And my heart & soul was left behind.

 

Now I’m rotting away on the outside.

While I watch my own decay from the inside.

There’s some problems from which we can’t hide.

You can’t run forever, so stand ground with pride.

 

I reach back into the glass to grasp her hand.

In an instant we switch to our rightful lands.

I take one last look at happiness while I can,

Before turning to face reality again.

Thank you for entering my contest.

I thought your poem reflected the feelings that I had in my dream.
Very well done. Thank you.

Actually, this reminds me of a cross between Stone Sour's songs "Through Glass" and "Bother" (or the video, where he watches himself grow old and decrepit). I liked this because it shows someone disgusted with who and what they are. Wonderful work!!!
