My Reflection

Diane JacksonBaul

My reflection
I look in the mirror and don't know who I see.
I look in the mirror and no longer do I see me.
 I look in the mirror but never for too long.
 These eyes so hopeless so, so lifeless where did I go wrong.
I look in the mirror and tears began to flow.
 I look in the mirror and my hope began to go.
 I look in the mirror knowing things will never change.
 Until I learn to rearrange.
 I look in the mirror and tell myself these or just simple life pains.
 But how can I make that change.
 I look in the mirror and all I see,
 Is a scared little girl in the reflection of me?

Diane JacksonBaul

I use poetry to release my inner most deep feelings. Poetry is my outlet to all. Its my therapy, for all that I have gone through and gonna go through.. A place where I'm able to say what I want. Whether criticized or agreed upon. Somewhere I can totally let down my hair. Think as I wish, Think as I can. Somewhere i can be me, and not care who knows, or sees me. No judgement, complete freedom to be me. more…
