Description:
Looking in the mirror...It can tell you so many things. It is easy to look someone in the eye and tell them what you think. But it is harder to look yourself in the eye and tell yourself you are beautiful..you are a great person...and that you will make it.

**In The Mirror** dots

-------------------------------------------

Looking in the mirror
Afraid of what you'll see
Not seeing the person you are
And only feeling that you should disagree

They have told you
Time and time again
That you are a breathtaking angel
And that, in itself, is not close to your beauty even then

You are now becoming a woman
Ready to rise up in this world
Ready to take upon this life
That God has now, before you, unfurled

Not feeling like you are ready
To face yourself today
You try to ignore your thoughts
And continuosly look away

You think of all that they have said
Wondering if it were true
Could they really find you amazing...
Could the person that had changed there life really be you?

Pondering these thoughts
You decided to look in the mirror
You begin to think of life
As you stand there in fear

Looking in the mirror
You smile at yourself
Deciding to put away the fear and doubt
On the unstable and dusty old shelf

********************

I'm really not so bad
I can make this life my own
My mistakes are nothing
That I am not ready to atone

I am ready to start this life
To make it what it should be
Realizing it is okay
Okay to beautifully be me

Looking in the mirror
I see the woman I would like to become
I look myself in the eye
And say, "Hey world, Her I come!!"

  Hey I know what you mean. I really like this poem. I know you say I and my friends at home say I look good but I look in the mirror and I dont see it. I cant look in the mirror anymore because it's too much to look and stare at yourself and not see what others see. I dont get life it boggle's my mind. Good write . Keep it up your getting better everytime.

  Mirrors are definately the worst thing that "man" created. They show everything, every single flaw on our bodies and everything in our souls. I still can't look in a mirror when I first wake up. To me it's just a hole in the wall until i get dressed. I'm not one of the more popular people at school, and that mirror is just so evil. It reminds me of how different I really am from people.

I think that my favourite part was how you separated it. It was almos tlike each stanza was its own thought, but it was still part of the whole thing. Dude, you've definately got the style, and the feelings behind it. A lot of people try to write things like that, but sometimes they lack the real emotional attachment to it. I like how it seemed like you were talking about someone else, and then turned it around as personal. Very awesome twist.
It was awesome, what can I say???

  I agree with the last comment, I think you started out wonderfully, but then as the poem goes on, your momentum dropped. Not that it went bad or anything, but it opened up so well, I thought. Still a great piece of work, you continue to write beautifully, keep it up

That start was the best. I was gonna right about the same thing, but I decided not to. Because I new someone would. And I was tossing and turning about the title. Many people write about like in the mirror like you have. Why cant you change it to something differant. Cause there is so many meanings by that. Everyone seems to think the same.

This has a very nice flow to it. Yes, I wonder what do people look at me and see. Is it what I see, or is it someone differant or is the appearances the same. Questions that really don't have an answer.

But this a really amazing write
Good Job
Keep writing, you got talent.
