Mirror Mirror

Looking in I hate what I see

My own reflection staring back at me

Penatrating eyes that see in so deep

Seeing the pain but say not a peep

Seeing my face, I feel all the pain

Turn away fast ease off the strain

Walk away from all this strife

Look towards a better, a new life

Without the tears, the pain,the hate

Rid myself of this state-

Of mind that beats me down day after day

I wish for something more, for another way

Mirror mirror take a look at what I see

For a cant stand the person staring back at me

Author's Notes/Comments: 

there are days when I can't stand myself, I hate to see my face in the mirror, simply because I know I can't change what I've done, make my wrongs, rights. And to a point it sickens me. I wish I could turn back time and change the things that give us all painful memories. And that I can't do. One of them days I guess.

I love this poem! lol. Serisouly though-it's great. :-)
I feel like I can relate to it soooo well too, there's those days sometimes when I hate myself, more than anything else in the world, and then when I look into the mirror at myself, I feel like smashing it into a million pieces. I like your writing style. :-)

sometimes life is so hard that if feels like everything is terrible. But everyone has done things they wish they hadnt but thats all a part of growing up. u learn form the mistakes u;ve done and move on. Robin, I know youve been through alot of things u wish u hadnt but always remember that u have friends here who will never let u down. Keep your head up high and try to live life like it was your last.
Luv, Shermany

Schmidty, I dont know how many days Ive looked in that mirror and wished that I could be someone else
I hated my reflection staring back at me, only cuz I knew I was me and all the things Ive ever done have followed me around
Some days you cant stand the way you look and its hard
But you should look at the reflection
Cuz all its looking back at is the good life you have
