The Mirror Within Poem by Serena Silenced

The Mirror Within

Rating: 4.3


I stand on the outside looking in.
I am not comforted by what I see.
Someone is in there hiding.
She is not what she appears to be.
I stare at her for a moment.
She is looking right through me.
She is the mirror within.
She is deflecting all of my animosity.

She is the mirror within. She is deflecting all of my animosity. Nice perception. Way different from your poem What Lies Beneath A word of thanks for the nice comment of Jesse Elisbury.

I really like the metaphor of the mirror deflecting negative feelings. And I love the progression from self-loathing to validation. Hard to do in a short poem. Very well done. I look forward to reading more of your work.
