Tetsuo_Shima Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I also posted this on my journal but i thought a good poem so I'll put it here. The mirror by Mark Parkell ----------- kill me with your apathy and spite me just for agony like selling souls to the devils left to bid. tempting are those shiny things we all see on such hallowed screens and laugh away, just laugh away as we sit. And watch the clouds float by. it's been such a long long time my friend, now enemies till the bitter end. Look dimly in the light, hear a calling, hear the plight A reflection calls out, calling me in you A sound as such is crisper, be it only just a whisper that the mirror yes the mirror yet be not so cruel. Will you find it there? hide your face from it's glare guilty conscience be damned for you to go? Then hold on ever deeply to the nothing that you know, find the strength inside you, slay the hand that sheathe you, yes defeats you, he that never let you grow. That beast inside often say he"no". Forget his words and may you forever know The mirror's not so cruel when you unsheathe the sword in heartfelt tow. May you find your power, your strength , and find your spirits glow. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I wrote this poem a while back. To try and remind myself not to fight who I see in the mirror, but to shape what I see into something better. It kind of brings me hope to have found the piece of paper I jotted it down on 5 years ago. When I have nothing left...its neat to find my past speaking to my future. I think something good can be learned from that. Admittedly... I feel sad. Link to comment
