Mirror

Look into the mirror
and all I see
those eyes will be 
the death of me

It hurts much more
than you can tell
through inner termoil,
my secret hell

I'm scared, I cry 
and hide in shame 
inside my shell,
each day the same

There are two sides
to all these lies
dream days away
and plan goodbyes

Yes, brief but poignant, striking a compelling truth that is universal, both to women and men. Well done. I look forward to more.

Enjoyed this, Yenimls. Very tight.
I thought the rhythm hiccupped a bit with the word turmoil.
