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
