Looking in the mirror into the eyes of someone else..... Someone who lives behind your eyes.

Broken Mirrors
 
You are there behind my eyes
You see what I see
You do not feel
You do not love
 
You are the hurt
You are the pain
You are the sadist
You are the psychopath
 
You enter my mind
And do not leave
Until you have
Damaged me beyond repair
 
I am weak
You revel in your strength
I am kind
You delight in your cruelty
 
You sit behind my eyes
I cannot see you
I look in the mirror
You look back at me

boneman, a scary poem. it gives the reader an insight into your mind and what its like to live with another voice in your head.
he may sit behind your eyes watching but you have beaten him because you are in charge of yourself not him. You win because you know he is there and you do not let him out. every day you don't let him out you are taking more dontrol of him instead of the other way around. I have nothing but the utmost respect for you.
forever your friend

Thank you Snow for your kind comment.

Forever and always

Like Snowbelle I would like you to think about changing a word - "weak" (I know what it is like to say that word to describe oneself) To be able to see the "bully" and in spite of him to write evocative and thoughtful poetry, to battle on irregardless and to live always with hope - that is not weak. That is strength way more powerful than I can imagine. You inspire me Boneman with your courage.
As usual an evocative, painful poem.

Thank You Anna

Sometimes I feel weak when he seems to overpower me. I am left weakened by the fight of supressing him.

I know I am stronger than I realise thanks to my angel and my forever friend.

Peace

Boneman

It is a good poem. It is hard to write like that sometimes. You did it very well.

Boneman - This is another great poem! I love how you portray the feeling of somebody else living behind your eyes waiting for their chance to get out and wreak havoc.

Oh dear Boneman, what a painful way to live never knowing when or how 'he' will appear and what damage he could do. You must be a very strong person to keep him under control. Wishing you the very best. Lydia, your number one fan.

Thank you Lydia for your kind words.

It is painful at times and terrifying but my strength comes from my saviour who stands up to him/me and makes things better.

Peace

Boneman

no doubt about this that - this poem brought out the worst fears inside me...can i face my own self in the mirror with confidence HONESTLY....Nope...not me...
This one indeed made me realise that being truthful to one's own self is the most difficult thing in this world....

Its not being true to myself which is the issue but which version of me looks back at me.

Peace
