My Reflection


I might never be the finest girl alive, but I'm the girl with the realist story. I see not of my perfection, but my dirty reflection, Mirrors crying, tears on the ground, I see my past all around me, Different face around me are infinity, I never try to judge one with my dignity. It's like, I'm in a train in the rain to nowhere, just trying to hide from my pain, words of explanation in my brain can't seem to understand. Cold blood running down my veins, the mirrors are obtaining, trying to domain me again and again. My wounded heart pound is going fast, the sound of the mirrors' wise words I reject, it's trying to correct me, but I neglect. Red tears falling down my face, Lord hear my prayers and scare not my life. I've got a confession for the mirrors' profession, my eyes buys guys, when I look in the high skies. I know I'm not perfect, but I need back my salvation, to give me directions, while I'm trying to survive. I know the mirrors are divined, and they need to be crowned, cause they've gave me a fresh start, when I was out there in the streets. Living half alive.

YoungDreamer

My name is Marlene Rashidi, I was born during war in Congo. I grew up in South Africa where I learned English from.I've always wanted to be a writer ever since I was 10 years old, I loved stories and poems too. Life is hard and you have to reduce the hardness in it, by just trying. I started publishing some of my poems and short stories when I was 12 years old, I'm still trying to accomplish my dreams. I was born to inspire by whatever little I have, I dare to dream and not only dream I dreamt reality. I've experienced things that can make me a better writer in years to come. Life has episodes that might want to bring you down, so try not to let them. I have two Brothers and two young sisters. All my poems are dedicated to my Mother Masoka Rashidi and so is to my brave and hard working father Magombora Rashidi. Life for me is easy and peaceful here in the U.S.In Africa you never know weather you'd die today or tomorrow. In God We ought to trust
