Hello readers, welcome to OCpoetry. This subreddit is a writing workshop community -- a place where poets of all skill levels can share, enjoy, and talk about each other's poetry. Every person who's shared, including the OP above, has given some feedback (those are the links in the post) and hopes to receive some in return (from you, the readers).

If you really enjoyed this poem and just want to drop a quick comment, to show some appreciation or give kudos, things like "great job!" or "made me cry", or "loved it" or "so relateable", please do. Everyone loves a compliment. Thanks for taking the time to read and enjoy.

If you want to share your own poem, you'll need to give this writer some detailed feedback. Good feedback explains from your point of view what it was like to read the poem, and then tries to explain how the poem made you feel like that.

This is just a delightful read!  It reminded me of something someone once told me, they said “The way you see yourself in the mirror and the way others see you are totally different.” Of course they meant don’t be so critical of yourself because others most likely don’t care how you look, at least that’s how I took it at the time.  I also think they meant the flaws that you have that you let ruin your day, others just simply don’t see, so why let them ruin your day?  Anyways, thank you for sharing this, it put a smile on my face.  Have a good night!

Thank you so much!! I’m so glad you enjoyed it. You also nailed exactly what I was going for with that line :)

"While you don't see what others say" 

I love that line because it has 2 meanings. It could either mean you're dripping with insecurity or you love yourself ore than others do. I felt that this is an uplifting poem and it is an easy to read as opposed to others. Great job OP!

I like this rethinking of mirrors and reflections, that they aren't for anyone but yourself. I think you could do a good job of talking about other reflections too (i.e. a body of water). It is a great commentary on how we are all too critical of ourselves.

We look in the glass almost every day

An exact representation of what others see

While you don’t see what others say

At least you can say “That’s me”

Remember at times you’ll see your flaws 

They are truths we may not want to face

But before you fall into despair’s jaws

We all have our own unique grace 

The point of life is to be who you want

And if other’s disagree, that’s okay.

Let them point and let them taunt

As long as you live life your way

The point of a mirror is to reflect on you 

To look in and understand who you are

Keep on smiling and no matter what you do 

Remember in that glass world, you’re the star.
