IN MIRRORS I BELIEVE

-

 


In mirrors I see,

A silence so deep, yet I hear

The rippling of the surface


In mirrors I hear, 

Colours of bright, a rainbow of light,

Yet RED: or white?


In the loneliness of my head,

And the quiet of my soul,

I'm a walking contradiction, 

A fiction within reality, but am I?


On days I feel the most undeserving,

To the walls I pray,

A "strawberry lipstick state of mind"

As I dip my soul in chocolate hues

And harness it in gold.


The solitude I gift myself,

The Art Of Control,

I see,

I hear,

And in mirrors I seek.

    You beautifully worded how emotions change the way we feel about ourselves from time to time.. Idk if it was intentional, yet mirror is a great metaphor to express how we see or feel us.

      To me, the mirror was a direct reflection of us to see the parts of us we don't usually see every day, but I absolutely LOVE this interpretation. It's great seeing how poems bring out different perspectives to different people

REMEMBRANCE, DEATH AT HAND.

 TO THE POET, DEATH IS BUT THE MOST EXCITING ADVENTURE.  Where the wild things grow and birdies call, The smell of Spring; wafting though the town, Pudgy footfalls across the hallway, Pitterpattering on unsteady feet- she's walking. The gentle sound of steps on stone, She just turned twelve, the Little Dove, She knows of life but not of death, A pirate of the seas? Or the heir to the throne? Sweet sixteen she is, the graceful little miss, Be a lady, they said.  The steady heartbeat as she runs up and down the track of sand Athletic she is, nineteen going on twenty. A marathon of a hundred, the end is at hand. "Dear, dear girl, sunshine she was" They say looking down on the gone woman's corpse Oh so young, yet so old No footprints on snow, for she has risen  Above all kin, A heart of gold. HER FOOTSTEPS WILL FOLLOW THROUGH SPRING AND WINTER, THROUGH THE GRASS AND SNOW, UNTIL SHE IS PRESENT- REBORN. ~Chenu 💓

  You know what they say about 2am, it’s both the Devil’s hour and the Angel’s hour, and it makes sense that it is. 2am is when the insecurities come stumbling down on you, where you have no where to hide, unless you distract yourself on Instagram and chill with Netflix. “We’re sleeping on our problems like we solve them in our dreams; We wake up early morning and they’re still under the sheets” (Louis Tomlinson circa 2020) It’s when you think of everything and nothing all at once, where you wonder what you are doing with your life, where you mourn for your ex, where you wish your pillow was a little bit warmer and where you wish you had a midnight snack because all this unnecessary thinking had made you hungry. It’s when you realize the maybe, just maybe, it would be easier to let go and cry into your pillow, or blast on your favorite music on speakers and hope your family won’t wake up. It’s when you tell the stars what you miss the most in life, and where you make new dreams a
