the state of confusion

0 posted 2002-01-29 03:39 PM


I look in the mirror
and all I see
are useless little
reflections of me

they don't show the inside
only the out
though I have much to hide
no one knows what I'm about

I look in the mirror
and try to find
what it is
I desperatly try to hide

I was a jerk
I was so afraid
no one would ever even
be able to look at my name

so I decided to start again
and hope that the people I knew
would still love me
and want to be my friends.

This was a really good  post,but you should never try to hide the real you. The people who matter won't mind and the people who mind don't matter.
take care

Be kind,for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle

This is a really good first post!!
WELCOME TO PASSIONS!!

A mirror is useless when you want to see the inner you. All you have to do is to see yourself in your mind's eye, and empathy is the word.

Hope you'll find a better you...

Welcome to Passions!  This was a great first post.  I really liked the 3rd stanza

"I look in the mirror
and try to find
what it is
I desperately try to hide"

I think this shows that not only are you wanting to let your true self out, but that you aren't even sure what your own true self is.  Maybe you should just not worry what anyone else thinks and do what you want.  Anyway great first post.

ex animo,
Aaron

Wouldn't it be great if mirrors did show you the inside you....But there will always reasons to judge us, so I guess its not that easy.

If you feel like so, it's never too late to start anew
Hope things have worked out for you
