PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I've found myself

staring into the mirror

a lot more lately

Not for vanity's sake

Not to make sure I'm presentable

I don't care about such

trivial things anymore

I think I do it

to make sure I'm still breathing

because sometimes

it doesn't feel like I am

I also think I do it

as it's the person whose eyes

I ever look into

Well, into is the wrong word

But I think I do it mostly because

That's the only person that

would dare look back at me

It's amazing how much one person

can isolate themselves but still

carry on as if nothing's wrong

with no one even noticing

until I'm alone and tears are

my only company

I don't really have a reason to cry

It just feels good sometimes

to remember I'm still alive
