The face in the Mirror

She has my eye color.
Brown is the color of our hair.
But she sees the world differently…
With a face without a care.
She avoids my eye contact.
Her teeth clenched.
My fist struck the glass…
And she didn’t dare flinch.
I look down at my feet.
Pieces of her lie on my floor.
I guess I should feel heartbroken…
But I didn’t know her.

Nice poem. I like how the glass is a symbolism for the girl. You really convey emotion well. THe picture you chose is very artistic well. I feel like I have a picture of what's going on. Overall good use of emotional words like "clenched" "heartbroken" etc
