Poem: Look Into The Mirror

Former Member

Look into the mirror
At saddened, bloodshot eyes
With bags as black as darkness
Each night filled with her cries

Look into the mirror
At the pale, unseen ghost
She fades into nothing
A whimper heard at most

Look into the mirror
At the overweight freak
All she does is eat and eat
Consolation for the weak

Look into the mirror
The relentless array of scars
Reminder after reminder
Of what's been bad so far

Look into the mirror
The monstrosity stood before you
This ugly thing has no one
And there is nothing she can do

I look into the mirror
And all of this i see
For that girl staring back
That girl is me

Ahh, I wrote a poem like this a couple of years back. Do you suffer from any eating problems, or was it just a poem for the sake of being a poem?
Either way, it's nice.

No i just thought i would highlight that issue for any other readers. I do feel like that sometimes though, but i never developed any problems other than excessive eaiting. Wasn't exactly for the sake of it. The rest of the poem is more personal though.

For the sake of being a poem Not for the sake of it. Difference.

Tis nice, I like it. I find it a lot easier to write poems from a personal perspective, rather than from 3rd person.
