This was written after many months of observing a girl, who in my Creative Writing class would do nothing but put on her makeup. Seriously, she sits there the ENTIRE hour looking at herself in a mirror every single day. A Missing Reflection A mirror is stained on your hand, And it's suggested that you can see What other's can't. As you learn things you never knew, You can see the paranoia building up in the view. You're percieved as vain to few, But you're meerly insecure to many. The mirror simply reflects the mind, And to your surprise, you'll come to find That your state of being lies deeper than Your skin, and you'll find it almost uncanny, that every assumption was accurate. And you'll stare forever into the eyes Of your mistakes, and you'll do whatever it takes To banish your narcissistic sins. Clearly, clarity is a mystery, and Not apart of your vocabulary. However, when you realize that you never Will be what you want yourself to seem, And your ill will Will not wake you from your horrifying dream, You will look at yourself like never before, And you will gradually end up hating everything You so yearned for.
speechless... oh my god, i just can't believe this great piece of work just came out of something as simple as a girl and hours of make up and mirror starring. My deep respect to you! I believe its awesome the way you find the meaning inside something so simple and mix all those things t o write such a good piece of work. Amazing! Keep going!
have to agree... you must be able to have the ability to see into someone elses soul making powerful observations like that. always good for writing...
I love it, it's amazing! It's amazing how you compared what she saw in the mirror to her inner self, you must fucking rawk at creative writing! ...needless to say, she must be failing.
