Mirror

Haze
      The taste in my mouth
                                      Phase

this girl I see in the mirror|rorrim eht ni ees I lrig siht

What happened to her mouth?

She had words to say, but it looks like someone taped them out...

GRIND
GRIND
GRIND

those are the words inside her mind
but by the looks of her situation, she's running out of time

When was the last time that real tears where shed
Once in the club hoping to forget by getting those legs spread
Unknown is a mind in need
Letting loose of character and breaking a deed
Drowning is a bed that is poured when you need to breath

Youth seems stop when trouble bleeds
One time I thought everyone was the same
Until I looked at this reflection and realized I changed

Limited is thought
Especially when you can't hear yourself blowing that rock
Timid is a soul, how easily ones forget it could be sold

Memories injected, only to stop the vision of infection
Eating away time

Gone so long, I forgot what which color was the sky
Opening doors, but on the other side there's a wall crushing the floor

...

This girl I see in the mirror|rorrim eht ni ees I lrig sihT

When is she going to stop this disease
before she loses her heart's only please

Smile ~ thought that I would stop by to view another one of Your Gifted Hearts Writes and, as has seemed the case amid some of Your creations I have beheld through time--This is just another profoundly reflective and spoken scroll, etched upon by someone very lovely and, bright in this world!!! "Love Always," John! ~ "Have A Beautiful Night Dear Jessica," Bye!:) ~

Very clever writing style employed in this terriific poem, Jessica. Truly a "mirror image" in that repeated line. Very thought-provoking message as well. Love, Carolyn

Interesting thoughts that you have penned about a different topic on which has been written a poem..Things unsettled, confused, mixed-up, baggage, emotional trauma on the inside expressing itself thru acts of self defeat on the outside...Great job..Sara
