I am

At times I am the one you love the most to see,
and at others someone that makes you sick.
You see me everywhere,
and you can't help it.
You see me in the eyes of the ones you love,
but also in the ones you hate.
You speak to me when nobody's around,
and you compliment me too.
You cry in front of me,
just cause you know I will never judge you for it.
You grew up with me around,
and no mater what hardships you had to endure,
I was there.
I was around since you were born,
and I will die with you too,
never to be seen again for the rest of eternity.
I am and always will be,
Your reflection

jwiener

The way you formatted this poem is spectacular. Until I read the very last line, I thought that the narrator of this poem was talking to a close friend or family member who had done them wrong in some way. The fact that you chose until the very end of the poem to reveal that the narrator was talking to their own reflection gave the poem an eerie quality, and definitely gave the poem a different vibe reading it the next time around.
