Taneikah Anderson Poet Rhyme

Reflections

I stare at my reflection in the mirror

The scarring memories flash nearer 

My dark eyes

The hidden lies

My brown skin

My ugly sins

My dark brown hair 

The ugly stares

My long flat nose 

The aching blows

My plump bottom lip 

The flashbacks won't slip 

Envy in my eyes

The jealousy will only rise

My broken heart

The boy who would start

To turn my frown upside down

To the smile truly worth while

But then one mistake

Was all it did take

To ruin something special

Worth dying 

If I didn't love him I'd be lying

But now it's all gone

The happiness that shone

The guilt will embrace 

The pain in my face 

The scarring memories flash nearer 

As I stare at my reflection in the mirror
