Just a Piece of Glass
Never met a piece of glass
that received my approval
In fact as I pass
I ensure its removal
that received my approval
In fact as I pass
I ensure its removal
It’s a master of trickery
with illusive torment so crucial
As it shines, it’s snickering,
with infinite disapprovals
Omnipresent reflections
derive internal rumination
of insurmountable rejections
from outward implications
Oh, it’s just a piece of glass!
Exposing the ugly of me
Now it’s ugly too

I like the personification of glass in this poem as a sinister trickster that can torment and decieve, well done!
wow – the power of the object to define its reflection! The nominalization throughout the first three stanzas elevates the tone until the end stanza, and boom, there it is.
Even your beautiful reflections sound like poetry!! Thank you for your thoughtful under and recognition of the representation here!
And I have a feeling many readers could identify with this one
Your diction here is amazing! Builds up to the last stanza of the glass turning ugly because of the reflection beautifully. Well done.
Thank you so much! Meaningful recognition!
