Mirror (Poem)

[katsmyname]

As she sat there in the dark.
She wondered what it'd be like in the light.
I saw her face as she sat there, thinking.
I found myself wondering what she was.
I found myself craving what she craved.
Through her expressions I saw her desires.
Through her eyes I saw her fears.
When our eyes locked I realized.
That what I was looking at was..
A mirror image of myself.

It's nice actually. It felt good reading it knowing that some of what you described in the poem has occurred in my life as I look into a mirror. Great job.

Do you write poetry for leisure (like me)? Or was this an assignment for English or a writing class?

[katsmyname]

I write poems/songs/realllyshort stories/thoughts for pleasure and sometimes to get them off my mind, and in the open. I'm glad you liked it. =)

Yeah, I do something like that. It helps relieve stress, so instead of blowing up or keeping it internal, I put it on paper. It's great sometimes to go back and re-read what you've written in the past, I get laughs from it!

buy yourself some skill.
No structure.. no rhyme scheme.. no steady meter.
This is just one sentence after another that expresses a concept that has been expressed for the longest time.
Congrats, you're like everyone else.
