Reflection !!

The reflection stares from the mirror,
staring, frowning, glaring
or was it just me hallucinating.

The reflection stares from the mirror,
whose innocence is long lost,
lost in the maze of gruesome world.

The reflection stares from the mirror,
whose free spirits surrendered,
to the enslaved world.

The reflection stares from the mirror,
whose innocence reflected once
through the dimpled smile.

The reflection stares from the mirror,
whose face belonged to me,
Alas! has drowned in the human sea,


This poem is shared with Poetry Jam-Reflections

    nice...so true we can lose our identity and no longer recognize ourselves in the sea of humanity...we are all in this together, but we need to preserve our individuality as well...

    Sometimes we see something different in our reflection from one day to the next! I enjoyed your reflective poem, and I am glad you found your way to Poetry Jam.

    Sometimes we no longer recognize ourselves when we take the time to look. Nice one.

    ...losing one's self from the crowd of many strong personality is indeed really frightening... and oh, how i've been there once... but then as the refraining line goes: the reflection stares from the mirror... i realized i needed to look back again... and to finally discovered how a great source of inspiration could be found in front of a mirror... smiles... thanks for the poem.. i really enjoyed it...

    First off I want to say superb blog! I had a quick question which
    I'd like to ask if you don't mind. I was curious to find out
    how you center yourself and clear your head prior
    to writing. I've had a tough time clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out there. I do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually lost just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or hints? Appreciate it!

    Look into my blog post: Legal ecstasy

    so truly portrayed.

    "One day these reflections will remain-
    of a rarely told story of a person,
    who lost his sparks in the crowds of life."

    Wish the mirror could be a bit merciful. Nice poetry ... like the weave of words.
