Black as her shadows
her heart turns chillingly cold
watching their eyes drift south
to the scars that appear old
She wants to forget her past
but it keeps her up at night
she hates every mirror ever created
'cause she can't look in it and stand the sight
Picking at her multiple scabs
ones created just yesterday
from people tracing her scars with their eyes
the sharp edges just won't let her stay away
Yelling at her reflection that forms in the blood
hating the scars that mind as well be on her face
she can't handle this person she has become
she can't handle being the mirror's disgrace

torn between 'whoa' 'wow' and something else i just cant quite say....this poem has a very dim and sad tone where you can almost picture the speaker in your head saying these thing and having the flashbacks of whatever occured to make her feel the way she does. i like this poem alot...it kind reminded me of a book i read. this poem will haunt your thoughts.
