Challenge
For the New and Young people who have recently (6 months or less) joined-Prose. FYI: I check every single entry for length of time. I only allow Under 6 months as a member. One year if you are young and it is stated on your profile. Do not worry about 'likes' this challenge is monarchy. Thank you, Benz
It warms my heart when I see young people who have recently joined our amazing writing group- Prose. It restores my faith in poetry, knowing it will live on. Think of this as an english class and I am the teacher. Please share with me your 'own' poem, that has never before been in any challege or published here on the prose. It can be about anything. Poetry only (I prefer verse, with an awareness for simple grammar) although it is not mandatory. I will read each piece thoroughly. Please tag me after you have entered. Please be patient if I do not review the same day you enter. I want to give every write the attention it deserves. *Everyone will receive a review. I am not a writing expert, reviews are based on my own experience of reading and writing poetry for many decades and what I have learned from my editors. *These reviews are my opinion. Thank you and have fun! -Benz

Reflections

Mirror mirror on the wall

Who’s the fairest of them all?

Reflections dark yet clear

Show all the insecurities I hold so dear

It isn’t me I wish to see

It isn’t me I wish to be

Flaws and mistakes, words can’t be erased

What will it take to appreciate my own face?

They whispered lies in my ear

Since the day I began to care

Their words stayed with me longer than friends

Their words could lead me to my very end

Person person in front of me

Let me tell you what I see

Yes bruises cover your fair skin

And maybe you will never be thin

But beauty is in the eye of its beholder

You’ll meet other people, it’s not over

The scars on your body tell a story

The stories may not be of any glory

But they’re proof of what you have overcome

So hold your head high, O’ strong one

It’s not the end of the road

Someday you’ll be free from your load

You asked me who’s the fairest of them all

This question will lead to your downfall

So instead turn to your mirror on the wall

And ask who’s the strongest of them all

To find the answer, I will give a clue

The answer will be staring straight back at you.

Death
Write about death

Death

Suicide is on my mind

But that's okay, I'll be fine

Life's treated me so unkind

But this is where I draw the line

It's my turn to choose

To choose my own fate

I've got nothing to lose

Now I pick the date

Write the note

Load the gun

Hang the rope

Death, will you come?

Come for me

I've been waiting

Can't you see?

This world has got me hating

What I do

What I wear

My blood is long overdue

My life with them I share

Now I share with Death

No hope for a tomorrow

Today ends my sorrow.
