The Monster

Everytime I look in the mirror,

a monster stares back,

crouched behind the thin glass,

waiting to attack.

 

Watching with fierce eyes,

curdling my blood,

banishing my thoughts,

making my heart thud.

 

Sharp claws aim at my face,

itching to get contact,

images of its snarling face,

turn my vision black.

 

Gruesome teeth lie in wait,

temptation setting in,

wanting desperately,

to get a taste of my skin.

 

Everytime I look in the mirror,

a monster stares in horrid glee,

I shiver everytime,

because that monster...

 

is..

 

Me.

This poem is amazing! It's beautifully written.
I love it.

By the way, I'm sure you look lovely. I think the person who can see the most faults in their appearance is themselves.

In all honesty I can truly and honestly relate to this poem. Sometimes the mirror is such a dreaded thing. Every blemish or scar is just that more noticed and when people regard your image as being disgusting you tend to agree with them. I find this poem to be well penned because it touches base with much needed truth. I find myself repulsive at times and then there are times when it isn't that bad. But still people are always judging each other based on their looks which is just sad. This was a good poem
