Description I stood there, stolid and silent
Waiting in false hope
Looking with fixed gaze
The Other side of the mirror

I'm trying to convince
Myself there is no glass
That I can put my hand up
And fall right though

I imagine there's a world
One where I can smile
With people who like me
And no risk in being myself

Then I put my hand up
Tears form in my eyes
The glass is still there
I am still trapped here

I wonder, though
If I had spent
Just one more second
Would there still be glass?

Thanks for the comment, I'm happy with it, esspecially since I now have 50 poems (though not all posted, obviously) that I have completed, as well as have not lost to the abyss

Don't worry, the inspiration will come, I also am supposed to be a novelist, but I've been on writers block awhile now with that, just been working on art and poetry, though poetry is slowing now
