I look in the mirror and what do I see...
A frail little girl staring back at me
The light of my eyes once there now gone
Clouded with darkness and untold pain
I look at my future with nothing to gain
I hunt in the darkness for something that was
Staring into oblivion just becuase
Maybe I'll find what was once deep inside
A pure and loving heart
That is shattered cause we're apart
Who is staring back at me through the looking glass
I don't regonize myself and the time that's past
Will I ever find the girl I used to be
Happy, strong, funny, and smart
Maybe I'll get a second chance, a new start
I look in the mirror and what do I see...

Very Good
Very well done, Keep writing and I will keep reading, Rick -
I still see the happy, strong, funny, smart girl; so its too bad your mirror is broken.
I think that your experience has made you a stronger person if anything. Your future is a bright one, and you will go far, because I see through the broken glass and darkness, and see the light, your light, within.
Great poem by a great person.

Oh this is kind of sad..and I feel that I can relate to your exact words. The truth is really powerful and strong. A lot of emotion and I liked how you set up your rhyming. I like the title and ending as well. Thanks for entering and good luck.

I really like this write. I found a few typos (the words because and recognize)..which still didn't take away from the meaning. Good write and good luck in the contest!

Oh my gosh....simply incredible! You are AMAZING! This poem is so sad, but yet it makes one think of the girl in the mirror, who she is/was, and want to more about her! Fantastic job!
