Reflections

May 28, 2013

Reflections Are images everyone sees differently Do they accurately represent a person? Or do they cause imperfections in our self esteem? Imperfections Are misguided attempts at being perfect But how can you be more perfect then how God created you? Aren't all of these wasted misconceptions the least bit blasphemous? Misconceptions The way we view ourselves in another's eyes How can we continuously judge ourselves based on how others percieve us? These are our bodies so why don't our opinions matter the most? Opinions They make a person who they are Why do we have so many opinions yet so many problems with the world? This is our generation so why are we allowing aesthetics to rule us? Aesthetics Things that get in the way of a person's true colors Why don't we all just stop wasting our time? Why don't we all be upfront with who we are and how we feel? Reflections don't show us anything at all

It totally sucks. Even boys have to work to be strong all the time STILL after all these years. can I use it for another poem? also, maybe you can use one of these questions to write a poem to try to answer it?

Wow, opened my eyes up to a perspective that I also take for granted-my own reflection, physically and internally. Meaningful, cutting, quick words to bring you to your own self-realization. :)

People bother me. I guess they bother me because I secretly hate myself...I am constantly viewing myself through anothers eyes while striving for perfection;but all that happens when You do that is falling.
