Replying to a comment on:

The Mirror (Free verse) by TLRufener

Smash the mirror I cannot bear to see myself Take away the windows I do not wish to see my reflection Tears of hatred and fear Are the only makeup I wear I have tried to run from the truth But it follows me everywhere It is my shadow Attached to my weakening body My spirit is heavy Dragging down my fragile being Thoughts promenading in my head Twisting the image of reality Rearranging the truth I seek I do not know how to feel What to believe Where to turn Who to be Who I have been Has never pleased the mirror Who I have become Displeases it even more My reflection loathes me It hates everything about me Though it never speaks

I like the coupling of your explanation to your poem.. maybe you could add a line in about your mother being in the reflection and not just you..? Just a thought.
