Apathy

When you look in the mirror... what do you wish to see?

Apathy

 

 

I want to look in the mirror and like what I see.

 

I want to see a girl, with a pretty smile. Pretty eyes.

 

Sure, I want to see someone... attractive.

 

I want the skin to be flawless..

 

I want her hair to fall exactly right, the way it never has before.

 

The dark circles that haunt the eyes...

 

I want them gone.

 

I want to see a girl with confidence.

 

Not some awkward girl, who knows all the hateful things people say about her.

 

I want to see the beauty that God created.

 

Not some hallowed out soul.

 

I want the happiness to radiate so far, that everyone around her feels it.

 

I want her to laugh.

 

The tears and the sleepless nights...

 

All the bad things that have been so haunting in daylight and at nightfall..

 

I want those to disappear.

 

I want someone to feel love.

 

And give love.

 

And share... love.

 

I want someone else.

 

A girl who is not me.

 

I want a replacement.

 

Maybe then...

 

Well, maybe then they'll be happy too.

Author's Note

When I write poetry... I use no structure. I just write. And it always comes from the emotion I am feeling.. right at that moment. It may not be perfect, and it may not be right. But that is it. Critique is most welcomed, and highly desired. I would like to know your thoughts and hear your comments on the true writing styles as well. Thank you.

We all have those mirror days..the doubt, uncertainty and the want of perfection. Even the perfect ones look in the mirror with doubt..nicely written and so many can relate to this emotion

I love this. I am the same way when I write my poetry- I don't use structure. Just pure emotion. I think that is the best kind. Loved this read!
