Your reflection is my reflection as well as everyone's... you have a great style. Looking forward to reading more!
I cant agree more with the rest of the poets and poetesses up there...they have already echoed my words, especially Ferrell with his opinions about your poem and that 'cross'. Interesting poem, Keith...and yeah, u should name this ME....or MY FACE....or I Smilesz ps: i still like your Will-Smith eyes, though.
It's hard when a person looks in the mirror and sees only negativity glaring back. This is sad to read. Don't you know that "Perfect",... and Beautiful? You are all that! Keep writing and get this poison out of you with the help of your pen. Start looking in the mirror, and see that God creates only perfection. It is man alone who creates affliction. God Bless....
By centering the poem, kind of resembles a stick figure. Maybe a good title would be "Me". It also resembles a cross, indicating at maybe a subconscious level...Faith. This is the second poem I have commented on and both reflect a lot of unhappiness. I have personally seen the miracles of prayer, so not having faith is not an option for me. There is also a lot to be said for unanswered prayers also.
You have a bright future ahead, but don't let the darkness take you. I have reached a point in my life where I am giving more than ever before, and the blessings I receive in return is unreal. Keep your faith and keep on writing, you may be surprised by the blessings you receive in return.
