As I stood there in the mirror.
Hours upon hours, flew right past.
Trying to decipher where my life went,
And the shadow that I cast.
The reflection wasn’t empty.
But it definitely wasn’t whole.
I turned away, disgusted,
From staring at the lonely soul.
Managing a silent murmur,
..A whisper of a plea.
Burdened down by hearts and sorrows,
I wish I could be free.
Birds aren’t free to roam the wind,
For they are chained to skies.
Never will I hide again,
No mask.. And no disguise.
Like pages torn from books..
No happy endings to be found here.
Burnt into ashes of a faltered lie,
But the fire won’t singe the fear.
..As I stood there in the mirror,
In the minute that I stared.
The lonely soul that eyed me back,
Was the only one who cared.

inspired by this guy right here. [link]
click it ! everyone who enjoys/reads my poetry will love his. he has a way with words, far better than me. so, this happened to come about while i was talking to a mate on msn. he trusts me, and i'm pretty sure i'm going to trust him a whole lot more soon. he's really awesome, his poems are kick arse. anyways, this is about nothing in particular. i was itching to use the word 'decipher' and this is what came out of it. enjoy guys, x. |

 reports, 1d 22h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.65 Featuring Great Artist and my great Watchers! 6*Halisoar
