All I wanted was for you to be perfect
You couldn't even do that for me.
I wanted you to love me
But how can I expect that from you
When you can't even love yourself?
Don't look at me that way
I don't want to see your eyes fill up
And your lip trembling
That's only used for sympathy
And you won't get that from me.
Shut up when I'm talking to you!
Stop mocking me as I'm speaking
It freaks me out because
I feel you're reading my mind
And you know I hate that feeling.
Don't bite your hand
And don't slam your fists on your thighs
It doesn't do any good, doesn't make you feel better
The bruises, they'll fade away
But the scars remain to remind us of our faults
You're faults.
~Reaches out hand and pulls back quickly~
Don't reach for me when I'm reaching for you!
I need your help, I can't help you anymore.
I'm going to try this one more time...
~Reaches out hand and stops mid-air and pulls back again~
I thought I told you to stop!
You never listen to me
So now I've got to teach you a lesson.
~Smashes fist into mirror.. pulls back hand mangled and bloody~
Look what you did to me...
You've made me bleed when I didn't want to.
~Looks down and sees reflections of a bloody hand~
You... are... me...

Yeah... this is me talking to my reflection in the mirror. I hope this is what you were looking for...

Jessica,
It has been long and gruling. Life breaks free at one point, and so should you. I fell in love with an orphan. Adoption isnt such a bad thing. In fact your love is the most you could give to someone else, even though your mother does not exhibit the same. You are better than this. Keep your chin high because at some point in your life, you will have the control. You will have everyone's love. -
I did not go to the contest to read the original, but on it's own it packs wonderful punch! The subject is really familiar to me and I did spend some time on your page, so I realize you are in the process of ridding yourself of demons past, and good for you!!!!

First, I would like to thank you for taking the time to read my poem "Realism of Womanhood". I have come to return the favor, and I am so glad that I did. This is a beautiful write. I also did not understand who you were talking to in the first few lines, but I slowly caught on. Its always great when you keep your reader guessing---keeps there attention. Thank you for the wonderful read. Coming to your page was definitely well worth it.
