Stranger In The Mirror

Are you sure this poem belongs in the drug section? Its great...just seems like it would be read more if you moved it to the category (Self Poems) I dunno its your call ;)

Yea I guess it coule be in "self", but I put it in the drug category because "the marks on your arms you try to hide" are tracks from slamming dope.  I was just trying to use more of a suggestive approach, which definately makes it fall in the "self" category also. Thank you for the critique :]

I likes this alot :) just thought I'd give some encouragement

Thank you!  I appreciate it alot :]

this sort of personifies a feeling or "era" that i
have the good luck to relate to,i am guessing most
"others" who have been or are in the same situ have looked at their mirrors in the same way as the narrator.
i therefore disagree with maikeru (though not aggressively)and say this poem is where it should be.

well done!!
(and welcome btw)      

Thank you for the welcome and the encouragement!!  
:]

The cutting open juxtaposed the stark self-reflection really nicely.

Very bittersweet.

I really liked it when you said empty blue eyes

Thank you!
:]

Stranger in the mirror looking a little more familiar I see..

This stays really strong and powerfully emotional through the entire poem...

It was really beautiful.
I simply adored this.

Thank you so much!  It was an extremely emotional poem to write, it was a challenge for me, but a much needed one.

Thanks again!
:]

Bold- impressionable.
Which it was, a lot. This can not only be something to relate to, but a prod for someone else to really look in the mirror and see what they have become, something that a lot of people avoid. This is the kind of poetry that even though is extremely touching, leaves you smiling, because you can see the progress the writer makes throughout the poem. (and comments!) This is really heartfelt. Good job.

Thank you so much!  Your comment left me smiling for sure!  :]
