What you didn't tell me

everyone lies
why do you lie
are you scared of truth
is it to hurt
or to deceive
tell me I am beautiful
only to let me look at the mirror
and get me awfully disappointed with my sight
you trick me
let me fall into intoxicated pink fog
where only my expectations rise for one second
to get them eradicated the other
only to drag me to the mirror with hope
letting my eyes look up
to see only that
that all what you didn’t tell me

I see this piece as a war between the light within the eyes and the the light reflected in the mirror. It speaks to me of the battle that goes on by what we think and feel and see with our eyes open wide, version what we think, feel and see when our eyes our closed. The mirror reflects the false view, while the view seen with eyes closed speaks of truth. These words sound as if the mind is angry at the reflection in the mirror.

Aaron, thank you so much for your review.
I love your description of how you have perceived the written piece. I must say my thoughts while creating this poem highly reflects your depiction of this inner-outer, seemingly, never ending battle. Thanks again for reading and reviewing my piece. Makes me truly want to continue writing.

I believe that everyone is beautiful on the inside. However, the outside, no so much. I like the poem that you made, and I'd love to see you make more poems. If you'd like any help with ideas, I'd be glad to offer my hand.

I find this poem really intriguing. Often when one compliments one isn't aware of the sheer idealism that compliments can be embedded in making one a stranger withing themselves. Very interesting take.
