when I look in the mirror I see...
When I look in the mirror I see
A person I never thought i'd be
Myself I cannot recognize
My face is a mask and beneath it i'm hiding lies
I don't know who I am anymore
But I know im not the same as before
My sanity slowly gets worse
Insanity it is my curse
The mirror I look in I wish to shatter
But why,it wont matter
I'm still the same person
A failure of a human,a friend,a son
My reflection
Shows me my infection
It shows me how pathetic im becoming day by day
I'ts showing me that im slowly wasting away
I decay
In my dismay
I should just grab the rope and chair
because I no longer care
I'd sleep better if I was in a coffin underground
Or at least if my sanity could be found
Everyday when I look into the mirror I see my wrong
And it's been this way for too long
A person I never thought i'd be
Myself I cannot recognize
My face is a mask and beneath it i'm hiding lies
I don't know who I am anymore
But I know im not the same as before
My sanity slowly gets worse
Insanity it is my curse
The mirror I look in I wish to shatter
But why,it wont matter
I'm still the same person
A failure of a human,a friend,a son
My reflection
Shows me my infection
It shows me how pathetic im becoming day by day
I'ts showing me that im slowly wasting away
I decay
In my dismay
I should just grab the rope and chair
because I no longer care
I'd sleep better if I was in a coffin underground
Or at least if my sanity could be found
Everyday when I look into the mirror I see my wrong
And it's been this way for too long

This is a very powerful poem, and i have in the past been able to relate to it in almost every way.
these following line ...'The mirror I look in I wish to shatter
But why,it wont matter
I'm still the same person
A failure of a human,a friend,a son
My reflection
Shows me my infection
It shows me how pathetic im becoming day by day'
Oh wow. I can actually really really relate . they are beautifully written.
You will never know how much they touched my heart.
The only thing i dislike in this poem is the last line.
I think it would flow better if you sais far too long instead of just too long.
Other than that, this poem is fantastic, and i encourage you to keep on writing x
