War Against The Mirror Poem by Natali Surjan

Have you ever look inside a mirror
And cried
Cried from horror
Cried from disappointment

I ran to the mirror
Hoping for some answers
But all I got was Horror
I looked and saw Disappointment

This face would never make it
The judgment I see in my eyes
On which others will bestow
Upon me

It frightens me
So now I have
A war against the mirror
A war that I will never win

I walk near the mirror
Afraid to look in it
I run past
Hoping it will not see me

It will not judge me
I cannot take the judgment
That's not true
That can never be fixed

I have
A war against the mirror
Can we ever come to terms with each other?
Or will we be forever in war?
