Staring into this frame
With eyes ashamed of
what has became of this picture
Battered and torn
Scorned and scraped
So much pain in this picture
Those scars cut deep
Those eyes that weep
And set a flame to this picture
Those bumbs and bruises
Seem so useless
So I try to refrain from this picture
I turn away
Untill the next day
When I shall complain to this picture
But as I view
The image is brand new
Somethings not the same in this picture
Those scars show pain
That's long overcame
They're no longer stains in this picture
Those bumps show maturity
Those eyes show purity
And allows me to exclaim at this picture
Because now there's life
There's joy in it's eyes
Hope still remains in this picture
No more pain
No more shame
I can look again at this picture
As I take two steps closer
Two steps nearer
Now I can see things clearer
I like what I see
This image of me
As I stand face to face with this mirror
Please tell me what you think

Wow, I loved this poem. I really felt all of the emotion, and this was beautifully written. It also had a very nice rhythmic flow to it. My favorite lines were
Those scars cut deep
Those eyes that weep
And set a flame to this picture
Those bumbs and bruises
Seem so useless
The last line also blew me away, as it was an unexpected twist, and I did not see it coming. Amazing write.

Wow
This poem is wonderfully deep.
It is intense and beautifully formed, i was wondering what the picture was going to be at the beginning of this poem. I expected a graphic of some sort and the end but i LOVED the way you ended it with 'the picture' being a mirror.
Amazing write

As I take two steps closer
Two steps nearer
Now I can see things clearer
