Reflective Reflecting Ammunition

For those who know how it feels to be too hard on themselves.

This is the best that I can do

There is no better possible way to be

Yet, I find that there is always someone watching from the mirror

 

Hypercritical

Always judging me

 

Those appraising eyes

are always looking back into mine

It’s too bad  that only I know what they truly are

 

Two dangerous blue bullets that are always on target

Never showing a wound or major scar

 

The gun wielding soldier in that soul really does attack

 

So in return, I harden myself and look again

Only to ridicule and criticize my subconscious self

 

Since that is the only way that I know how

To shoot my reflection back

The poem told a real story.
"So in return, I harden myself and look again
Only to ridicule and criticize my subconscious self"
The above lines are true. We are hardest on ourselves always. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry and your thoughts.
