Nothingness

This is about a guy that is looking at himself in the mirror and not liking what he sees. Love or hate?

I look into your eyes and see pools of empty thought

Void of any emotions, any heart.

No breath to speak of

Is there any life in there?

I look into you heart and saw pure black

An emptiness so cold it could freeze hell.

Somewhere that should make you feel loved; 

Is just a place you go to die.

I look at your body and see a frail figure,

Beat down, broken, and bruised. 

Skin so pale and white, 

You could see the gloom of your heart.

Once a soul of many colors,

You gave a rainbow a run for its money.

Your soul shined brighter than the sun. 

Your heart had an infinite amount of love.

Looking for a escape 

A way to run from your self 

Run from the image the scares you so

Your afraid to come back to life

You are terrified of what you see 

You can't even look your self

You force yourself in the mirror 

You have to face what you fear the most

When looking in the mirror

I see eyes, heart and a body

A former shadow, 

Of the man I wish I could be.

i really like this piece. brilliant melancholy brought out

[外人 (Gaiji..]

So full of pathos, the intensity you put in this words are indescribable, I also enjoyed the fact the first 3 stanzas focuses on 3 different parts of a person, eyes for the first, heart for the second and body for the third.
Great job =D

I really liked it. This man looking at himself has a good personality, from what you've written here.

[Cascara (aka Sprint Goe..]

nice descriptions!

you've got quite the imagination!

[The Watcher]

This is very interesting and deep, and I'm sure many people could relate these words to their own lives. You have great talent Amanda. Kudos

[T. Michele Smock]

very nice

[Morrigan Nicole]

This is very deep, up until the last stance, I had the image of my mother in my mind. It sounded just like her, the terrible manipulating woman that she is.

Each of us look into the mirror and don't like what we see. I believe we gain wisdom when we learn to like the person looking back at you in the mirror. I like the strong statements and story in the poem. Thank you for the outstanding poem.
