Into the mirror is where Ive stared
this familiar face is sad a scared

I always end up in this same place.
looking into this strange girl's face.

I want to know why she is giving me this look.
Like her happiness is something Ive took.

I know there's something wrong when she starts to cry.
So I turn around and say goodbye.

I don't know how to help her.
She is just too incomplete.

Someone has broken her heart.
And knocked her off her feet.

I think that this poem can describe how most teens feel at least once in their life. I have, and writing this really helped me just let everything out.

I liked this poem because it told from a different perspective then is mostly written about.
