Looking At My Reflection In Mirror Poem by Fahim Sayed

Looking At My Reflection In Mirror

Rating: 4.5


I look at my reflection,
In the mirror
What do I see?
I see
A body with no soul,
I see
Eyes with no hope
I see
Shoulders that have given up

My reflection says it all,
Searching for creativity with
Impotent mind,
Doing things as if I am blind
Trying to innovate,
Something one of its kind

I look at my reflection,
In the mirror
What I don’t see,
I don’t see,
Will to change,
I don’t see
Passion to give more
I don’t see,
Energy to explore

My reflection is talking to me,
It says,
I am no one, lost for identity.
My reflection is laughing at me,
It questions,
Is this real me?

A good write with alot of view of lack of self esteme, but sometimes, we all need to look at ourselves in the mirror, dont like what we see, change it, and move on... Very to the point with good charactor lines. Bonnie

Dear Fahim, we all are empty souls... don't worry, in that emptiness we can shower words may be it's called poetry

probably your best, when we really have to look inside ourselves we don't need a mirror.
