SHATTERED IMAGE *************************** You walk with sagging shoulders low Pointed towards the ground, With silent footsteps as you go, Afraid to make a sound. You speak your happiness to all, And yet you wear a pout. You hide within your shielding wall, Always peeking out. I hear you crying late at night Muffled by your pillow, Sometimes non-stop till early light With every surging billow. Again you stand there before me The same as yesterday. You think that I'm your enemy. The truth I cannot sway. And now you've given up all hope. Depression lives in you. Wake up you fool and learn to cope, And build your life anew. Oh No...Now look what you have done! Another mirror shattered.. This doesn't mean that you have won. The mirror never mattered! Look at yourself down deep inside, That's where the image starts. Begin to build internal pride.. Don't dwell on outer parts. mutington(Joyce) < !signature--> "I can live by myself, but not within myself."

This is wonderful Joyce, your talent with 'quill' ever amazes me, this is straight from the heart I have come to know these past few months. Wonderful writing, my friend. Wishmaster. ~ You cannot be what you want to be if you do not know who you are ~ |

To look within ourselves and truly accept who we are as we accept our mistakes and see the beauty of who we are in our hearts we need not shatter the mirrors. Wonderful Joyce and I know the heart of you is honest, sincere and pure. This is a wonderful poem straight from the heart. Much love and hugs to you from me Love I leave with you my friend whether it be in your life or of yet the essense of your dreams. http://path2riches.com |

Joyce, Wonderful writing full of truth and conviction. It is never easy to look within, but you must in order to start anew. Well said.  LW Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |
