The plight of the mirror looker
The plight of the mirror looker
I am the mirror looker. Or at least that's what they call me. And by they I mean myself, because no one knows I exist.
I am the mirror looker. I see through every mirror in the world, and observe all who look back. You'd be surprised at what people will do when they think no one is looking. Or maybe you wouldn't since I've seen you do the same.
People don't lie when there is no one to hear it.
They are honest
Completely. - Honest
But I am the mirror looker, and I see it all. I see it all, I see them in their honesty, wether I want to or not
I've seen
Confessions,
I've seen
Tears,
I've seen
Prayers,
I've seen
Fears,
I've seen
Terrors,
I've seen
revenge,
I've seen
Beginnings,
I've seen
Ends...
Because I am the mirror looker, and that's what I do. I see things in people that no one else does. I'm doomed to do it forever, I think, which greatly troubles me. I agonize over it day and night. But there is no one there to hear me.
I see everyone; no one sees me.
But that's not what hurts the most.
What hurts the most is when I see the bullied boy, but I can't tell him that I would be his friend.
What hurts the most is when I see the torn child, but I can't tell him that he is not to blame for his parents divorce
What hurts the most is when I see the man who wishes he was dead, but I can't tell him that your wanted.
What hurts the most is when I see the righteous man who goes unnoticed, but I can't tell him that I appreciated his virtuosity.
What hurts the most is when I see the man who thinks he can't, but I can't tell him that he can.
The world is filled to the brim with pain and suffering. And what hurts the most is that I can't do anything about it
But you can.
For I am the mirror looker, and this is my plight. But you are a free soul, so what will be yours?

your overall poem is great my only advice is to work on the structure when writing future poems...maybe try to put your poem on nice neat verses or stanza's. i found the structure of this poem a bit too random , i think it will add more flow to the poem ...i hope to see more from you :)
