BREAKING FREE *new poem*
..
I keep fighting with my own reflection,
I feel trapped behind a mirror but I am finally breaking free;
I whisper to my own reflection, “Tomorrow I want to be Less like you and more like me “
..
You cut off my wings, and then you wondered why I couldn’t fly;
You can throw away the tissues, because I have no more tears left to cry
..
You said I would never amount to a thing as I spent to long daydreaming in
Class;
its time i turned my back on you, as I am so tired of arguing with a stupid piece of glass
..
I was meant to look inside myself and find hope and inspiration;
But all I found was a lonely boy hiding behind the condensation
..
You are my shadow and my reflection, you are my mirror image trying to break free;
I blamed everyone else for failing, but deep down the only person to blame was me
..
Your eyes cast a shadow of doubt which has left me feeling trapped and insecure;
You broke my confidence into pieces, after spending so much time staring at the Floor
..
The biggest demon you will ever face in life is your own reflection,
And to that i am a strong Believer;
It’s up to you to pick yourself up after being put down and constantly accused of being an under achiever
..
Broken reflections forever ageing as the people that make up your past slowly vanish and disappear;
When I look into your eyes I was hoping to see the future, but all I saw was fear
..
I am tired of you putting me down, so tomorrow I plan to be less like you and more like me;
I am tired of hiding behind a mirror so I am finally Breaking free .
