Australian Um, looking for some feedback on my poems. Hopefully their progressing and improving. I love to read and write. Nothing much to say really. Sylvia Plath is my idol.
Fighting beneath crashing waves Hoping to breathe yet cave Their shinning star: her ego's slave The girl in the mirror Laughing over broken glass Condemning wrongs of the past The victim of this sinful craft The girl in the mirror Vulnerable under judging eyes Feeding of this web of lies A fallen petal of the rose she cries The girl in the mirror

The Girl in the Mirror
And everyone believed in her Oblivious to her nightly tears She could never see their girl Blinded by her faults and fears So she wished upon a broken star That shattered every one of her dreams Burdened with the screaming scars Tonight she murdered her self-esteem Learned not to see the light Consumed by the vicious lies So she surrendered to the fight Yet again she tries and tries Learned to laugh through her pain For she was so sick of crying Now she revelled in the rain It washed away her doubts for dying To the heavens and the skies I’m sorry for another broken star Its magic was just another lie Hope, cruelly snatched from afar To the soul that paid the heavy price I’m sorry for this crafting mutation But night after night, it would never suffice You must’ve understood the satisfaction To the victim trapped under water I’m sorry for drowning you in its depths In a ruthless slaughter: but I loathed her Please forgive me before our last breath To the readers of this pitied story I bid you all one final warning Don’t be deceived by their lies and our goodness For I was never the blessed, intelligent girl And don’t be blinded by your own loveliness For I’m not that beautiful, sweet, caring girl And I’m not the girl you and I wanted from me But she is the girl I have tried to be And I am through wearing this mask of deception
 For you believe it all, but not its selfish intentions Please help me…I pray to god for you to help me But for the sake of your loveliness, your compassion and all that you conserve Don’t: you are best to let me be For I am getting all I deserve

Broken Star

Fighting battles that are already lost Blood and razors will make her stronger Through raging storms she’ll struggle across What does it matter to the girl under water? Rising up to their every demand Cracking under glares of another Ego feeding off their pitied hand Breaking the glass; that ***** in the mirror Longing to escape the masked smile Demons fighting for her affection Burying herself in the pit of denial In the end her enemy’s that dam reflection Torturing the mind with dark temptations Lingering thoughts soon bring her to tears Why me? Echos in the web of questions Shes not a girl but the one she most fears Guilt and jealousy draining her every move A frozen heart and a ****** fire The scars show that shes got to prove She’s a thief, a liar, but always a fighter
