In 9th grade, I had to do this thing... sit and look at myself in a mirror for 20 minutes. It was for a self esteem building class. This is the result of the exercise... I'm looking in the mirror and I begin to cry. I'm not looking at myself, I'm looking through my eyes. I'm looking into my heart and my eyes begin to swell. I'm looking at an emptiness where my lonely spirit dwells. I'm looking into my soul, and I find that empty, too. I'm sitting here and thinking, what am I going to do? I'm wondering why I'm finding it hard to keep looking past my eyes. I'm trying to listen to my heart, and ignore the many lies. I find myself drowning in my tears... I've come face to face with all my forgotten fears. I quickly exit my soul and I'm back to looking at my face. The lies are winning me and I feel like a disgrace. I'm wrestling with myself, I don't really know what for. I look again past my eyes I hold the key to open my door. As it slowly opens, I start to get scared. I run away, and then I keep running... I'm running from my fears. When will I go back? It's hard to say. But right now, I think I'm done for the day. Never give your heart away, it will always come back broken. ~Lil OnE~ |

ERIN... thank you! This didn't turn out the way I had expected it to, either. I expected to look at all of my imperfections, not to go on a journey... lol.  Thank you, though. ((HUGS))"I've fallen asleep, slept so sound. Fallen so fast, I missed the ground" ~Lil OnE~ |

Hey  First of all, this is a great piece. An interesting exercise too...Looking in the mirror is not something we all like to do, it's scary sometimes, but looking at what's inside ourselves can sometimes be even scarier, especially when we're depressed... Hope you're more cheerful than back then in the 9th grade |
