Reflection in Water

by Faith Wesley

This is my first poem. It's a firstperson point of view, with Raven as the narrator. She speaks to the water about how they are similar. Please read and review!

Disclaimer: The character "Raven" was not my creation, however, this poem is. Please read it and tell me what you think. If you don't think it's dark enough, well, Raven isn't always a dark person. Trying not to show emotion isn't dark.

A/N: Please review it and tell me what you think. If you wonder who Raven is talking to, it's the water surrounding Titan Tower (or is it Titans Tower...you know, I forget).

Reflection in Water:

I sit on the rocks and stare at the water

I gaze at the calm surface and see my reflection

The stillness breaks at the first touch of the hand

So familiar we are

So similar we are

You always seem tranquil

Yet you have a rage that makes them quake in fear

A rage that hurts them

A rage that kills them

All with no mercy

When we think the storm will last forever

You resume your peacefulness yet again

Was your father the malevolent dark cloud?

Was your mother the innocent rain?

I know you are isolated

And you feel enveloped in the darkness in the depths of you

You wish it would leave

I know and you know the darkness will stay there

I stare not at my reflection

I stare at my soul
