I stare at the mirror before me
And the face staring back is you
We are each others reflections
Yet our likeness is only skin deep
I wish you could be proud
When you see me in the mirror
As I am, when I see you
But you can't hide your disappointment in me
I am angry at myself
Why can't I be more like you?
My fist connects with the glass
And you, the last good thing in me
Break with the shattered mirror

A very deep write. I like the concept of the mirror being smashed at the end, it has a very powerful feeling to it. This is full of strong emotion and great expression, really makes you think. Well done on a great write. Thanks for entering the contest
Peace ♥
