My Reflection
By Deadly Embrace
As I look into the mirror,
It isn't me whom I see,
But something so different,
It's hard to believe.
That I've become
This disease,
That plagues my entire being,
As I look deep within,
I can't believe what I'm seeing.
The figure staring back,
Eyes turned to black,
So empty inside,
As if staring into nothingness.
Like a blank canvas,
To only be painted with blood,
No joy left inside,
From the one's I have loved.
The light inside,
No longer shines,
As if I'm fading into a dark hole,
Tears stain the face,
Never will they cease,
Death shall be my punishment..
To put this bitter soul at peace..

I have seen a lot of reflection poems similar to this but yours was executed in an all-around better fashion. Great 4th stanza.

It's hard sometimes though. For year's I've looked deep inside to find those thing's that I hold so dear of myself, and not once have I come across one. Writing is the only thing I could say that I am honestly proud of. -DE

Well, I dont know you well enough to pour out vast compliments or make you feel special... but I know enough to see just from your writing that you are intelligent and unique. Just keep searching. Your purpose will pull you once you find it. :) -Glass

The second stanza was the hardest for me. It hurt the most. Self-hatred is hatred to its fullest extent. and most dangerous. Take some time to find the things you love about yourself. Like the fact that you're a great writer. Good piece. -Glass
