8 Ways Of Looking At Yourself In A Mirror
March 4, 2014
I.
Walk up to yourself
Take it all in
You are just and simple
Staring
II.
Laughing at yourself
A marvelous joke
Your life
In a tight bubble
III.
Relax with yourself
My words can soothe
Each hit thanking
The sweet company of me
IV.
Dance with yourself
My creation
Each time I breathe
I see you
V.
Scream at yourself
You are cold
When the brightest star shines
It chills me
VI.
Sleep with yourself
Revive and conquer
The dangerous lands
Of deep in my mind
VII.
Judge yourself
Sickness and death
They come slow
Dirty human things
VIII.
Break yourself
Blood pours from the cracks
Of that sad mirror
Lonely for me

i think this is a really cool format for the poem itself, its different. And with regarding the usage of big words in poetry, i feel that they would have taken away the meaning of this. sometime you can use larger words and they fit seamlessly, but other times they can be out of place and the read is to busy tyring to decifer the meaning than rather just enjoying the beauty of whats written

It might be stupid to say, you can take my advice or leave it, haha, but I've written things my whole life, and I think if you used big words throughout some of the numbers, it would seem more..suspensful. I, personally, don't know what you were reaching for, but it's good. (:
