Distorted Reflection

[alex_davo_88]

when i look into the mirror
who is it i see
is it who i am
or who i want to be

i look into a strangers eyes
and see a face not known
is this person new to me
or is this face my own

you see i do not recognise
the one on the outside
does the outside relflect within
or does on of them hide

for if i saw this reflection
walking down the street
would it be a person
i would like to meet

cause the way i look outside
is different to how i feel
outside inside one is fake
i don't know which ones real

but maybe i play tricks on me
and my reflection i obscure
the mirror boy seems out of place
where he belongs i am not sure

the outer outside belongs to a group
of whom is known as cool
and maybe they'd accept him
if the inside was dropped at school

but the inside has a group of it own
and the outside falls in line
but as the outside fades away
the inside grows like a vine

so who's this person in the mirror i see
after looking i did find
the person in the mirrors me
there no doubt in my mind

I like this poem !!! It's made me think about some things ...

Good concept. Good message. The further you progressed, the less careful you got. The grammer and wording don't seem so polished towards the end. Good overall.

Go with God.

I liked this poem. It reminds me of when sunlight hits a prism. The light goes into the heart of the person, and what comes out is a rainbow spectrum of light, which shows all the varied aspects of a person's personality and character. For surely the inside of the person, has many facets, rather than just one aspect.
