Do you like this poem?
I’ve always sucked at writing poetry and one of my new year’s resolution was to let my creative juices flow! So what do you think?
In your mirror,
Once realistic eyes are what can be seen.
Oh, my poor narcissist!

(Chaotic)
(Mundane)

From plastic reconstructed lips.

Of course,
No sympathy for thee,
It’s only justice
That I laugh in your face!
That’s really, really good! You definitely do not suck. Keep it up!
