Grey Mermaid

If you don't learn to write your own story, someone else will write it for you

19 poems·Since October 2012

Poetry is life. Sometimes my mind stops and I don't know what to write. But in the long run poetry is a way to let go. I set my dreams free and lets my feelings flow. The whole world can know how I feel. From a line and a word it's my sanity deal. So I write so my voice can be heard. I'm no longer just hidden from the world. -Grey <3

The Mirror

October 27, 2012
The mirror. The home of my worst enemy. Myself. I see her again today. Her waist. Not small enough. Her face. Not pretty enough. Her hair. Not long enough. Her skin. Not light enough. She looks at me and laughs. "Why try? You're ugly. Why try? You're pathetic. Why try?! You're hated! You're dumb! You're useless! I see them lies you tell your friends. You're not who you tell them. WHY TRY?!" She yells in my face. I take my fist and blast the mirror. Blood down my fist, my wrist, my arm, my body. I immediately fall to the Ground. I want to cry but I can't make a sound. I'm not perfect. I'm my own worst enemy. And she still lives in the broken mirror echoing... "Why Try?"
