Mirror Vs. My Reflection Poem by April Swan

Mirror Vs. My Reflection

Rating: 5.0


Too sinister to be loved
Too hated for that kindness
Too ugly to be wanted
Too remorseful to be silenced
I'm a monster in the depths
Because that what is said
I'm all a fool to believe
Because I am not
Like them
But I am,
Like them
Because I do not believe
A very fool indeed
Because I listen to what they say
That I'm a monster for my skin
I'm too silent in the end
I'm as ugly as I want
Yes my hate could undo kindness
But I will never be too sinister to love
And so in the end be loved in return

Wonderfully creative symmetry, very fitting for the overall concept :) I really like the switch in perspective and the deep meaning behind your words.
