The Reflection

i like to write poetry so i wrote this poem my first week of high school and this poem just kinda lets you dip into my thoughts of those first few days. I'm not the best poet and it doesn't all rime and I'm sure that i messed something up. but that's OK with me. this poem tells you more about me than i could ever tell you myself. Enjoy!



i looked into the mirror
i saw a face
a face i had never seen before
a beautiful face
a face that goes way beyond outward appearance
beyond the struggle
beyond the pain
no stress
no strain

a face that cares not what others say
but a face who lives to cease the day
a face that has been washed clean
a face that not enough people have seen

as i stare into the eyes
of this image i see
i long so badly
for this image to be me
i want people to see
what this reflection shows
a part of me nobody knows

a new reflection
a new start
all secrets out
I've done my part

searching for the things i need
to stand out in this blended scene

love and care
we all lack
I'm moving forward
no turning back

again i look into the mirror
i see a face
but this time
the face i see
i recognize it
its me
