Black Mascara Tears

Mirror, Mirror on the wall
Who’s the deadliest of them all?

Is it I?
Or just the reflection of a girl that has lost all hope

Is it I?
Or the girl who to her neck tied a rope

Mirrors don’t always show glamour and vanity
Mirrors show the hurt and the pain

Mirrors are the deadliest weapons of all
There the reason black mascara tears fall

    Very questionable but nicely done. Love the wording but really feel it echoes to much into uncertainty.

    Wow, very deep, even if it only a few lines. the rhyme flows easily off the tongue and the blunt words drive your point home. Thank you for entering this into my contest :]

    Mirror indeed shows reality, when you chooses to look. Nice and soulful hurt. Liked it.

    It also gave me a thought on "how Gothic/punk/(and whoever else who uses black mascara) cultures gives tears to people when they reflect about themselves through stigmatized social perspective, which let flow the "pretty mascara" tears"

    Great

    This is a great write and I love love love rhyme. I love how you took a mirror and wrote a sad yet reality poem about it. Also, this poem relates to all the young girls out there wanting to be what they see on TV. I loved this poem. Thanks!!!

    i like this poem because it is true someone can see a person in a mirror and see one thing while the other person sees themselves in the same mirror n see something totally different.

    one thing: in the last line, shouldn't it be "they're" instead of "there"?
    Other than that, great write! You really got into the essence of mirrors, which I think most of us hate!
