I can't look into the mirror lately
Im nothing that I wanted to be
I can't get beyond what it is I see
fire in my eyes as shadows stalk me
I know I can't go back in time
no matter what I do I'll never be able to rewind
so I'll walk past the mirror convincing myself
that Im just fine...

Nice, conveying feelings that most of us have. Like offering the question. What is more important, the beauty that we see or the beauty that they see?

If nothing is something
then everything is
our thoughts and feelings
and all that exists.

Very relatable.  But who are we really fooling?

I like the words you used and how you presented them to convey these feelings.

Enjoyed the read!

In a way, we cannot change what we become, we can only fight and try and reinvent ourselves.  I too look in the mirror and see a failure, but i cannot regret the choices I made, because any choice i make is a part of me and to deny that choice is to deny a part of myself.  Wonderful words...wonderful.

I hate mirrors, not because I dislike how, I look, its just too much reality to bear sometimes. These are honest thoughts...I felt your words. Nicely conveyed.

an honest poem that reflects your feelings. I would only worry when all your mirrors are covered or smashed. *grin

ah so sad, but never reject just remember the inside is truly where the beauty is,
as we get older we realize this even more,
