I star in the mirror
Puzzled by the person on the other side

I stroll my eyes over her as she mimics my every movement we are identical in everything
Yet we don't know who each other are

In my mind all I can think of is that there is a stranger in front of me

Who is this person who shares so much with me
Who is this being that looks as confused as I feel
Who is this lonesome soul
Does she know what I don't
Does she have what I want

Or is she just playing with my emotions by looking as desperate as I am forthese answers

I ask her
Who are you
But all she does is say the question with me

Finally I see the difference
For the only sound, despite the exact same movement of her lips,
Is that of the voice of my own

The mirror starts to crack and both of us look scared
Piece by piece the broken pieces fall drop and shatter on the floor

I continue to ask questions only to end up with the same result

The last shard falls and falls and I am alone in the darkness
That is so black I no longer can see myself
yet I still ask the question of who am

I scream who are you in the black abyss only to have a echo taunt me with thesame question
Until I feel numb

As soon as I close my eyes a light consumes me

It is frightening for even the darkness is swallowed by the light
I am still blind to the fate of not seeing myself

I scream who am I

Only instead of the insanity of repetition of an echoes taunt of the sameresult
I am reassured a warmth of comfort in what I believe is my heart

I ask again and the comfort becomes an embrace form something I cannot see
I cry as if feel what I have always craved, or at least what I am hoping , isthe feeling of being loved

I whisper again who am I and all of me seems weightless
There is no sigh of movement , yet as my heart races
I feel something come to life inside of me

A voice guides me in this waking dream

As I follow with little refusal

I hear the voice say
You are loved
Your worth life
For if you weren't I wouldn't have given you the gift of it

I whimper as I choke the words out

Who am I

And another mirror appears
I am paralyzed when I see the same girl I though I lost to the darkness

I listen to the voice as it sooths me to the point of almost giving in to thesleep that hides behind my eyelids
The voice tells me I must always hope
I must always believe without question

The girl on the other side places her hand on mine as I raise it to thereflection
And in that moment I know we are the same and I know I would be nothing withouther

I am confused once more when I see the girl speak
I believe in you , I hear my voice as she says this

Then the light speaks again telling me that I won't have to worry
That I will always have the other girl with me

Then if feel I tell the person in the mirror
That I am her and she is me

She only replies with we are who we are and that we are indeed the same
All I have to do is find her

So I ask the light
Who are we

Who am I

The light dims so I can see myself
And then it says

I am who I am

And with this insight

I realize I am me

8) If you wish to post more than one of a certain medium, for example 2 poems, bare in mind that you are only allowed one on the front page. If there are two poetry threads from the same user on the front page, they will be merged.

[Lady Pitbull]

so post all poems on on thread?... im sorry i misunderstoood that... i thought it was something it was compleatly not... ill do that from now on... thank you verry much

[Insane Pie]

You're just allowed one on the front page. So say you post a poem two weeks ago, it's on the second page. Then you can make a new thread for it.

But if you already have a poem on the first page and you wrote another, then just post it in the existing thread. No one wants to see a a billion threads by the same person.

Was that always a rule Alex? When I used to post in this section, myself and others used to post multiple poems at once and have more than one on the first page and no one ever said anything. Was just curious.

[Insane Pie]

Not that I believe so, it's not one of those hardass rules though. No idea to be honest.

It's really up to Steve though since it's his section. D:

[Lavinia]

I think it's a relatively recent rule, from around Hyena's time as a mod. I could be wrong. I'm assuming there was too much of an influx of shit poetry, they got sick of it and decided to gather some order around the cesspool that is this section.

I can't say if the content has improved, but at least it's semi organised.

Nah, he'll see when he gets online.

[Nereus]

Just use this thread for now if you want to post other stuff of yours. Problem is this section isn't all that active and much of the stuff posted just isn't good.

[Lady Pitbull]
