i can't stop hiding

The silver shinning
A reflective face
Looks so grate
Like a happy place

The fake image
Looking from the other side
Shows on inkling of despair
From inside

A heavenly place
Where I might strive to succeed
The same place
Where I just might recede

Such a fragile place
Found in the beholders hand
And with each gazers eyes
Becomes a different land

Such a powerful place for some
A place where I no longer see my eyes
For I fear such a place
When I’m hidden amidst these lies

I tell no tale of where I’ve been
But my face will tell it all
So I find myself letting go
Letting my land fall

Shattering falling to the floor
Once again I find myself
With a land that is no more

A million pieces around me
Sharp jagged edges all the same
Cutting me
Finding sweet pleasure in pain

Now I find myself
Surrounded by my land
A place I don't want to be
But now it's out of my hand

With every steep out
Cutting my feet more and more
Leaving marks of where I’ve been
As I’m walking across the floor

A bloody trail
Back to my gruesome dreams
To find myself thinking
Everything is the way it seems

"The fake image

(this is really sad, but sooo relatable)

"A heavenly place
Where I might strive to succeed
The same place
Where I just might recede"

(liked this part a lot)


"A bloody trail
Back to my gruesome dreams
To find myself thinking
Everything is the easy it seems"

(this felt "forced")

I enjoyed the poem overall

This was a really good piece, but there were some spelling errors that were kind of distracting, especially in the first stanza. I don't know, maybe it's just me.

"The sliver shinning

Should be:

The silver shining
A reflective face
Looks so great
Like a happy place.

I hate what I've become to esacpe what I was.
