guyoverthere Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Upon closer inspection The image is just a little Disconcerting The reflection seems Jaundiced Gaunt Just a trace of sadness In those uneasy cheeks There is a silent honesty In mirrors That betrays the many truths We so desperately strive To conceal With clothes And gadgets With accessories And makeup An honesty Tucked away like old photographs Behind the pupils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellie2006 Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Wonderful! I get the same sensation re: my mirror image; the unfamiliarity of the reflection is at times very disconcerting. During these moments where I sense a distance from myself, I wonder: is it possible to see myself as others do? Do I really know ME? Odd how sometimes I seem like a stranger to myself. Anyways, thanks for sharing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

girl friend Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Wow thats great... Stunningly portrayed hidden pains and depression, excellent use of blank verse. I wasn't sure what it was really about tho..., i dont think i've ever read anything you've said on here before, and i was wondering, i mean the general impression i got from it... Are you a self-harmer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indigo_scar Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Very nice indeed. So true about looking in the mirror, seeing one thing, yet knowing it is not the whole truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
