This is a poem about Canada (Matthew as I prefer to call him); It was, yet another, assignment for my poetry class: everyone wrote a topic down on pieces of paper and we each drew one for our poems. My topic was "what I see when I look in a mirror," obviously, I decided to not have it be from my point of view, but instead, one of my favorite characters from one of my favorite anime. Hehe

I do not own Hetalia, Canada, Cuba, or Kuma-chan. (though I wish I could be friends with Matthew...little cutie...~)

Enjoy~

Reflection

Looking ahead, I see nothing in particular,

Nothing entirely worthwhile anyway.

I don't really have much going for me;

I guess you could say I'm kind of cute...

But I really don't think that's much of an accomplishment,

A lot of people are 'cute.'

I gaze dully at my reflection,

I cannot blame anyone for never noticing me...

I'm just not that interesting.

Even my own twin hardly sees me,

And he is supposed to be the one who is always there for me.

I have no special talents,

All I can do is read and recluse myself from the world

That doesn't want me.

I have no friends...

Not even that Cuban who beats me up

For thinking I am my brother.

Not even my bear,

Whose name I never recall-

I guess I can't blame him for never remembering me

When I can't him...

My life is useless, there was no reason

For me to have been put on this planet;

No reason that the Universe saw it fit that I be born.

So if that's true...why must I remain?

Why must I constantly live in a place

Where I am completely unwanted?

Is it my purpose to be alone forever?

I wouldn't doubt it...

But that is too painful for me to bear,

I am tired of my loneliness...

I just want it to end...

But I don't have the guts-

The most I can ever do is break the skin to the point of bleeding,

I've never been able to go all the way with it.

I stare at my reflection and see no one

But a coward.

A coward who has no meaning...

I hope you liked it; I really wanted to get across how poor Matthew is always ignored and how being ignored really sucks. I hope I portrayed it well. Please rate and review! I really appreciate criticism!

I would have added Gilbert in this (Prussia/Canada being one of my favorite pairings), but I think that might have overdone it just a bit...I mean, I could have just made it into a freeverse narrative like I did with 'Almost There,' but I did not really want to work on it that long (due to the fact that at the time I wrote it, I thought it was due at the end of class)...

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask! I need to know if what I write is as good as my friends and teachers say, or if I am really just full of crap and they only say that to make me feel good...

Oh, one more thing: I rated this based on me not completely sure children should read something about suicide...I do not know...I just do not think it is something entirely appropriate for them...so yeah...
