She stands before the mirror,
and looks into the glass;
the make up that she wears,
hides the secrets from her past.

The way she's been abused is why she can;t decide,
should she end it all?
or keep it all inside?

She sees the pictures in her mind'
the worst is saved for last.

She looks down at her fisted hand,
and thrusts it through the glass.


This poem really means a lot to me
its bout my sister when she was alive.

I know that you will really enjoy your time here, we are a small family of poets, but we have much to give and gain.  It's good to see you.
Thanks for posting this one, I remember when you read it to me.  It's a favourite of mine.
Well done, and keep up the good work!

You see, Sarah?  I told you that they would welcome you with open arms!  
Thanks for dipping into our small world, and I hope that you remain.  A lot of my writing was done with you in mind.  It will help to have somewhere to discuss and exhange these thoughts other than MIRC, won't it?
Don't shy away now.  Keep writing, and posting.
Yours,
-Allan
