Excuse me...
...Can I fly away from here?
Self-imposed angst and wicked stares
Are all I see as I gaze into that looking glass
My innocence is hanging on a cross
I would speak but my words are lost
I search for my smile as I stare at you now
I can't find it and I don't know how
Maybe this is all is a hallucination
I would pray but my voice is gone

Jenna- I think you could extend this one a lil more. I loved it though. A wonderful free-verse. The emotion and power in it was awesome.

Wow.  Sometimes when I look in the mirror, I see a complete stranger.  Thanks for the poem, I really connected.

Keep Smiling,

Your start is awesome! It's fully like someone talking to someone. It really had me going, "ooooo, that's good."  
The rest of the piece is pretty good though. Full of honesty.
Thanks for the read.

Wow that was good but short.  I think you could keep going on that a little more.

I liked it but think more could be added. Anyhow, it was fine.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.
