I had to write a poem for school.
I guess I just wanted a bit of feedback before I turn it in… I don’t think it makes sense.
Fresh and clean through the mirror I see
But a sordid shell of one deprived of sight
And upon venturing deeper, so begins the delightful fright
Shades of violet imbue the air, caging the formerly free
Adrenaline lethargically coats my veins as I watch the girl in the mirror flee
A vortex opens, cackling at what once lay within my right
Perception falls from objects to shapes to paper cutouts, ready to ignite
Incinerate these eyes, I can but pitifully plea
My lids close gently, my body sways—for a flash, so disappears the unreality
Fluttered open, my pupils shallowly gaze at those staring straight back
Tense muscles fall limp as the violet vortex fades
Yet propped-up cutouts remain—Surreal, I beg, do not return to reality
A reluctant sigh plays through my lips, and my world stumbles to black
Freedom is vicious, I reflect as tears crawl out of my eyes, dripping in somber yellow shades.
I’ve yet to put punctuation in, really, but what do you think?
