Mirror

Mirror

This mirror I’m standing before is my biggest enemy.

It mocks me to no end.

Why won’t anyone believe me?

I’m no match for this hard, fragile death machine

It laughs at me

It shows my flaws clearly in it’s place

It’s stares me down

Showing me the one thing that I could never bear to see:

My face.

This might seem crazy, but have you ever noticed that some mirrors make you look worse than others? The message in this poem is so true. Sometimes I wish i could punch my mirror, but I can't take any more bad luck. I liked the last line. Short and sweet, and it rhymed. Good write :D

Many don't like how they look, but it's not that face that matters it's the heart hiding because that face. Your poem has truth in it. It's good work. keep up the amazing writing.

This poem doesnt have a rhyme to it which is a main characteristic to a poem. Good emotion though. I'm not quite sure why you call a mirror a "hard fragile death machine" because it doesnt really give the poem more rhyme. I hope you use this critisism constructively. :)

I like it, everyone hates what they see in the mirror atleast once.

I really liked it! It's got more meanings than its words!

I love this! Its truthful to no end, everyone has gone through this, a person's worst flaw is that the over exaggerate the tiniest thing they dont like about themselves.

You speak the truth. So many people fear such an object. You should learn to look past the imperfections and look at what you like about yourself. It didn't have much of a rhythm but the message more than makes up for it.

I liked it. I dont like the mirror though- either. It does seem to always point out my flaws, even when I dont want to see them. Well done.
