Re: My 2025 poetry thread
The girl in the mirror
The girl I saw in the mirror wasn’t me
she had red leaking down her face
Her hair all greasy and straggly
The girl in the mirror was younger than me
I recognised her but I don’t know where
The girl in the mirror couldn’t smile
The girl in the mirror I tried to hug
She just stood there emotionless
Unaware on what to do I stood
I stared at her expecting movement
She wasn’t breathing
That was when I knew
The girl in the mirror
Is the dead body of the 15 year old
I once knew that girl
We were close for 15 years
However she got stuck and I grew up
That girl in the mirror is the girl I was
She was me at age 15

Re: My 2025 poetry thread
I hate the phrase
I hate this phrase
“It won’t be like this forever”
Tell me why I’ve felt like this for years
Since I was 11 to be exact
It feels cruel to say when it feels like forever
“It won’t be like this forever”
Does that really apply to trauma
It’s practically a lie
Trauma is forever
Flashbacks are forever
Greif is forever
I hate that phrase
“It won’t be like this forever”
But it will, nothing will change
It should be altered
“It will be like this forever”
Certainly in my world
