I posed in front of the mirror,
smiling and laughing,
“Look at me, I’m a hero!”
It responded, “You’re nothing...”
“How can that be when I’ve conquered
the whole universe?!
Have you not heard the thunder
of my priceless verse?!”
“You are lost like a prophet
without a cause...
Don’t you see that your profit
is grief and remorse?
All your poems have perished
and what have you proved?
The heart of the lady you’ve cherished
remained unmoved.”
“How strange that it all grows clearer
as we talk eye to eye...
I’m a failure, mirror,
aren’t I?”

quit asking the mirror......you're not a failure.....you are a talented poet, and if you want to be a hero....smile at someone who needs one.....offer to help someone for no reason other than to help.....that's all it takes

Life isnt a fairytale that mirror will never answer you back like it did for that ugly lady in snow white. Life is true and very real the only one that can answer your question is your own heart. Nice poem.

Alot of times we are our own worst enemy. We look in ourselves and see nothing. You have alot to offer and I'm sure it goes far beyond poetics!

This was a nice poem. It kinda reminded me of Snow Whites evil stepmother. I liked your webpage too.

All of your poems truly impress me, Master. You're very talented. I really liked this poem. You should stop asking the mirror, though, because the mirror doesn't know what he's talkin about!

Nice work, I really enjoyed this.

Not my fav. by you but I did like it. The message seemed a bit negative, but we can't always be so happy.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

I definitely enjoyed this one. I could relate all too closely, especially when thinking about my poems. This left me with a sad, empty feeling but it was an amazing read.
