i hate her

i stared at her
so ugly i thought to myself
how could anyone love a girl like that
so plain and ordinary
she has nothing to offer the world
she's just there
i stare harder trying to figure out who she is
what is her purpose
i punch the girl
the mirror shatters
and i hate that girl

I really like this poem, one

I really like this poem, one everyone can i-dentify with. Perhaps, the last two lines could do well without "the girl is me" (we already know it because you're the image in the mirror). The last line would read: the mirror shatters how I hate her blood. or if that's too much... just oh, how I hate her. Just thoughts. ~A "It is unwise to be too sure of one's own wisdom. It is healthy to be reminded that the strongest might weaken and the wisest might err." Mahatma Gandhi

oh yeah, definitely take out "the girl is me" but other than that, it's great. I don't think you need to change anything else. oh, the title fits well. kudos.

I really enjoyed this poem, it created a powerful 30 second movie in my mind as i read it. It also made me think deeply about the emotions, and daily thoughts of the person behind it. Really enjoyed this poem. The title drew me in.
