I start with one foot, keeping my eyes away from the punishing sun and the towering mountain.   I began scaling, feeling the burning of my muscles for every movement.
i sat in my us history class 4 years ago watching my spirit slowly split from my body and i wondered if everyone saw what i saw watching from the outside in, a spectator to my own body.
She paints the ocean Washed and faded memories Hiding a child's laughter in the bubbles of sea foam Happier times float longingly In her heavy, tired brushstrokes The reflection of a young sun,

quiet the voices quiet thequiet the voices.  
What stories would old bones tell us? What stories would they sing? I can feel my soul screaming But my head won't let it in   I wonder if it felt like this, Rome falling way back when.  
I've been broken and abused Ripped apart and misused But yet, somehow, I still function. I've found fields of sorrows And hopeless tomorrows Yet I still yearn to feel something

Enormous, silent flashes Fill the arid night Lightning so bold it reveals clouds For many an arid mile   One, two seconds apart A jovial dance Performed on a stage
Dear You,   This is my least favorite part of my day. I can never escape her eyes. And my body can never escape her judgments.   "Bent, broken, barbed" That's all she seems to say as her nails
These war-torn calloused hands of mine, scarred and bruised and filled with memories.   That scar on the soft spot of my palm?

Today. Today I question myself Who is in my life? Who cares? and Who holds me back? The answer awaits     You see, for me to ask that I would need to understand myself What do I want?

A peek into my eyes and you see nothing. I hide my emotions well, may be too well. I am very good at it, the result of decades of practice. Might even venture to say that I have mastered the art of emotional silence.
We are capitalist slaves with broken dreams. The red and white are now meaningless streams, and the stars no more etched seams on a flag that sells deceit as equality.   No need to quote our anthem's wrongs.

I’m from sunlight shining, Birds singing in early afternoon. The fortress beneath sheltering pine trees, Narrow paths I’ve walked a thousand times.  
There are no monsters in the closet-- Not yet. Because the fangs of friends have yet to be sharpened School is a land of heroes and misfits
A year is the blink of an eye That sheds a tear, That makes things clear. A lot can change, And stay the same.   As the eye opens And sees the light What once was a blur
If I died, I’d cry But if I didn’t, then I’d never be alive I think I’m sad sometimes But other times I think that I’m just lying I like to sing out loud about death And feeling bad, and never being their yet
The sun rose and shone on my face through the window I threw myself out of bed and fixed my hair I walked up to my mirror and realized that I wasn't looking at my own reflection Her hair was a mess
2016: The Year Fear Took Over   You Think it will be the best year You Think you will grow You Think you will change
I cant breathe! YOUR world suffocates me. YOUR world, Yes! YOUR world because You have never made me feel welcomed in it. Am very much the alien, lost in YOUR world. Never ceasing to remind me that I am different.
Slipping under the guards of yellow tape, that warns "stay away," burying myself into clouds and space. Locked into this haven, reserved only for my soul,  
First Two Tries Third Failing Attempt Four Trials of Flames Fifth Error Yet Rises Above Six Six Six was the Luck

Three-sixty-fourHas knocked this time With Three-sixty-fiveStill close behind.The day begins
Stuff went down this year. I got an associates, and became a mom!
Emotional healing and heartache, /  Her Mother coddle her as if she was /  Seven years old, /  Red plump cheeks, /  Streams of water spilled down /  Hitting the tongue in a form of /  A salty back-slap of /  Betrayal for not being able to /   Hold
A valuable year soars by, Opportunities and experience it provides. Yet a greedy year glides by, Toxic relationships and people it hides.

Years go by as they always do Some go fast, others slow, But never a year taken so long As this year's past. Changes occur as they always do. Some welcome, some not. Haircuts and new friends,
Today, I woke up.Yesterday, I ate toast.The Day Before That, I rode my bike.I don't know. The change between Today and Yesterday and the Day Before That are difficult to see.But if you asked me the difference between this year and the last?
If I were to write you a eulogy  I would start by saying You are not dead I still see you in the mirror In the smile lines painted  permanently onto my face I carry you in the baggage under my eyes

Someone who can't make up their mind. Unable to tell yourself that you can do whatever you want. Maybe you are what everyone says you are.
Moon shineSun shineweave through the linesthat divide and marginwhat we interpret as realityonly what is tangible and experienced but what of the invisible?
It’s difficult, to say the least,that with dying embers follows,a shift to a sobering cease,leaving thy blushing touches hollowed.
So I sit here surrounded by acquaintances, friends, and  best friends i've made over this short but arduous 4 years
Poetry and I, We are inseparable.  We are long lost friends Who found each other Inside cracks of foaming hate And melting sorrow.    Poetry and I,  We are connected by truth. 
 When I was 5 I wanted to be a singer. Music brought smiles to my mother’s face and stars clouded my vision. Because of that singing felt right, but that was before I knew I had no talent.  
FLORIDA, COCA-COLA, A TYPEWRITER   I moved to Florida because I wanted to write a book.   I moved to Florida because I wanted to drink Coca-Cola on the beach and write a good book.  
I'm not sure I like my reflection;He looks at me funny.There's something in his eyesThat boasts he knows me too well.And I just don't trust him-I think my secrets he might tell.
Do I love myself? Do I hold my own dear? Do I wake up and live a life of no fear? Do I look in the mirror and see a queen? Do I look at my hands and feel machine?
The mirror's peers peering  Into the glass mask erected to hide  That he takes advantage of their selective hearing  To conceal the burning hell inside  Terrified that the mirror's fears blazing 
Heavy breathing  Emotions seething  Mirror stumbling in the darkness  Chest and lungs heaving  Reflections causing pain so heartless Now crying, curled up and screaming    Panic   
Reflection The most important of actions  The mirrors have it mastered  Replicated image captured  Their faces face others  Their eyes eyed by their pupils  But behind the glass burns a fire 
the clock ticks remarkably fast, take a deep breath and look back, each moment is becoming the past, think of experiences you still lack.   take a deep breath and look back,
Your words are the Holy Scriptures I know by heart Confirm me with your smile and let me view God’s art Your hand’s caress surely has power over me My skin is blessed as my mind drowns in dopamine
You I hate you And yet I’m supposed to love you I want to be rid of you Yet I never will completely
A rapid fire brain. Unceasing thoughts, Seemingly distant, Yet present. So very present. Immersed in the moment, But all caught up in a jungle gym of reverie. Too focused to be distracted.
Looking back you see
The lens of her minds eye is tinted  
I look into the mirror Confused and blue. Where is the girl that I once knew? She is hiding Deep Underneath my skin What I wouldn't give To see her again. She is bubbly Curious
When I entered middle school it wasn't quite as I had planned
feeling the red, white, and blue shadows
On a winding path I wander Ahead of me I see a mixture of light and dark Because born of sadness, joy is Branches whack me in the face Roots shooting from the ground try to trip me My sack weighs as much as I,
if a mirror was placed before you and you cast your gaze upon it, what would you see? if the reflection that comes back is not yourself,
Get all your ducklings in a row
I stand before the mirror And all I see is an error A bloody X across my being Telling me this ain’t worth seeing.  
I look at the ground underneath my feet
8/19/12, age 18   At five years old, my hometown seemed like Wonderland, Countertops that towered over me, the aroma of baked goods Infiltrating the crowded sidewalks, coercing me to want a taste.
Lights. Curtain. Action!
Without filters I fear for my mind  and the tricks it plays on itself all the time Without filters in which I see the world My eyes would see opportunity everywhere and not just the beaches,
Trial and error,
I cannot do this
I am smiling too wide, I am looking too directly at the photo lens Click. Click. I tilt my head just a little bit further and I will feel pretty Click. Click. Too bright. Delete. Too shiny. Delete
Behind the beige powder, behind the jet black liner, Behind the brave brown eyes, behind the fake smile, There is a girl.   Aside from the straight auburn hair, aside from the sculpted brows,
Are you satisf
Red locks of fire Framing my expression Eyes of changing colors  From under the earth to the green above Legs of a gazelle  Nose of a boar Wide grin and sparkling teeth Pristine and perfect
Staring at my reflection
It was an ordinary day  But ended with tears 
  Mirrored That is without glass A place inwhich glamour lies Our pictures hidden By the pictures of ourselves Hidding the natures of ourselves
I am surrounded
She looks into the honest, fogged mirror And she sees a person she’s proud of She sees the deep lines stretched upon her forehead Symbolizing the wisdom of her old age She sees the dark circles hugging her eyes
She tilts her head back, rolling curls of dusky brown hair fall over her shoulders. Copper eyes with piercing abilities stare into my soul... strangely familiar.
A leaf spirals down Glint red-gold Brittle brown Above the park pavement. The children pause Pensive watching Still as stone Observing it fall. A filigree fire A dying hope
For one minute, the past
Do you ever just have one of those days where   you wake up and nothing seems right? One of those days where you look down the hall and someone has turned off the lights?  
Confused... Wishing that I knew what to do. Angry. Yearning for the day that I'll get a clue. Get a clue as to why I let them antagonize me. Because all I really want is to be free.
Tuve un vistazo del cielo Exhalo un gran exhalación Un aleteo en mi pecho El mano en el muelle y empujón  
Time goes by so quickly there was little time to contemplate the joy we had in our daily lives We hardly thought of our loved ones and our friends because our hectic life had no room for it
  I pieced together the clouds in the sky  and they were so perfect  God asked me to paint the night  So many stars, I broke the sky  I broke the sky 
My reflection is  a mirage purely an image  Based on deception hidden with lies buried in secret It whispers happiness  to me But all I can see in
I look into the mirror, a grim expression on my face. For I know that she is staring back at me, just like she always does. Such an honest expression, one that seems to look deep into my soul.
Exact image shown in a different light Image relected back to you shows you the way others view you.
This is not a poem,it is a waning recollection.   I danced with death in Bermuda,entangled in his unescapable grasp,my deepest insecurities mirroredby his icy and desolate self.  
The quiet silenceAs my soul remembers meAll that I became
In this reflection
  My head, thickset with smoke, emotion's run, Arid hills ring augmented, fragile child Twists, and vanishes to midnight blue sun, Perception, understanding beguiled.  
Who am I Shaheed Baukman 9/11/2013 You use me every day, causing you to become complacent to my significance
a still, clear pond lays robin waits for a response but knows what awaits
Reflection I See
Mirror, Mirror on the wall When will I feel beautiful? I feel as though I have no call, Tell me is it worth it all, Mirror, Mirror on the wall?   Mirror, Mirror made of glass
Growing up is tough, rough, but I''m learning a bunch. About Who I am, Who I want to be, and all the new people I meet. Sometimes I wish my life would all slow down,  I'm becoming a Junior in High School 
No. Is all I hear.
Five Twelve Fifteen Seventeen
I walk a lonely road in the dark Filled with thorns and thisles I hear music, see a small light I am wearing tattered old ripped blue jeans I am cold
A soul of paper:
I am not the only one in the White Room. Sheer fabric whispers from the windows Goblet in hand, I drink to the Grecian lady White dress, raven ringlets frame the face Of porcelain A laugh escapes
  Look at those girls in the magazine!
I have felt the burden she carries
When I watch you thoughts calculating like an abacus thinking, examining an unknown world and classifying it as "lost" I cry. When I watch you lips pursed like a padlock 
I'm attracted to mystery I jump into the unknown Assuming that it's good Because it's new.   I want you because you're different You're elusive You're confusing You suprise me 
Oh it pays to be funny It pays to be smart It pays to work hard And complete what you start But what do we make Of the talented fool Who inherits the earth And who thinks he should rule?  
Texas sun hidden in the different shades of the sky I saw dark blue, layered between light Clouds that battled to occupy space It is here that I hide my face And watch grass and flowers opened their leaves
I'm about to graduate from high school and this year went by extremely fast Junior year I had a plan about where I was going to college and summer plans How I wanted to be more social and join the track team
Where do you look for a reflection? In a mirror, on a shiny spoon, on a car window.
My body is trapped My mind is free The spirits that swirl from my body must flee and feel around me the air that they plague a mystical sense so close and so vague 
You look in the mirror but what you see isn't really you Sure it's you standing there but it's missing something too   You don't see the way your eyes sparkle when talking about something you like
It seems to me that mirrors never give an honest reflection of a person.
I remember the comets   The day my walls fell— Crooked as my reality Crumbles into a rubble I felt choked as Fate’s hand throws dust Into my eyes blinding
No hesitation when my pen touches the paper
I will never amount to anything. I will have no role,  no impact on this world. Am I significant? The world would go on without me. I will pass from this place and nothing will be changed.
As I look at my life right now, I see ridges and bumps, I see valleys and hills and rivers that I haven'
I look out the window and what do I see? I see a strange little girl staring right back at me. She scrunches her nose and begins to pout because she just cannot seem to figure me out.
The sickled sling which cast doubts beckons from the blackened light.  An inevitable dream that awakens me abruptly, haunts my ever waking moment.
As I lay down in bed I think about what I could have done differently I think about what my life could have been What if my dad had never left? What if my sister would have never been born?
The Spectacles An Original Poem by Catelin Haight   Through the spectacles of the soul
I woke up with half of me missing. Perhaps it was tired of the other, Constantly clashing and roiling, Always at odds with one another.   I woke up with half of me missing.
I know a boy who thinks too much
Among the mirror I continue to stare
My reflection gives me a disappointed glance As I stare back at my appearance. I take a peek inside my head
Floor by floor all the same with souls; persons with names Floor by floor smothered with ash; smothered in flames Floor by floor with worried looks on faces Floor by floor with no safe spaces
In 2009, I became very self conscious after going on a diet for prom and it quickly spiraled out of control.
In a head full of madness
Last night I watched the clouds go by. It was 1AM in Alaska so there was still lots of light. I sat and watched as they slowly scuttled across the sky, neither trying to impose upon the other.

I am convinced thatThese are the days i will remember lookingback and forth between glass,asking what does TruthFeel like?

Love, Deep love, Why? I am Vile! Villainous, Mischievous Destructive, Productive Seclusive, Inclusive Hate, Deep hate, Why? I am, I! Represent, Comprehend

People are unpredictable. If you think they are who they say they are, then you're wrong from the start. You can only know somebody, if you truly know their heart. But how will you know that if they cover up their scars,
Behind my bedroom door, I hear screaming and fighting; Someone always ends up crying. They try and hide it, But from were I sit, It gets louder, and louder; Overwhelming my ears.
Mirror, mirror shed some light I need to see the foe I fight I need to see what's wrong with me I will fight to prove I'm free   I'm not the man I used to be Tell me why can they not see
A mind has vacated its body Escaping voids lingering deep within a battered soul With ignorance to the disconnect it harvests A storm is brewing yonder And one will become wary listening to the thunder
Wandering memories retrieved every year A different perspective from all my peers Everytime tears befall Due to the attack we all recall As I begin to slumber, I start to wonder
The greatest struggle a man faces is himself. How shall I describe man? He is full of trickery, deceit, and lies. He manipulates and twists the world for his best interest. He is a hypocrite.

I’ve always hated my reflection. It taunted me, Broke me, Nearly killed me.   It chained me up So that way The thoughts couldn’t escape.   Each day I would look
I see her she sees me What possibly can this be? We’re so different yet so alike I guess it’s one of those mysteries of life As sweet as I am, she’s bitter as a fruit
There are two different sides to me There's the me that you see  And the one I could be The me that you see is envious of the other I want to be just like my alter ego brother
The way you smile at me is intoxicating. So much so, that every moment I look at you is degrading. Your spirit is like a two-edged sword. It can cut through my mind when I'm bored. I have so many desires 
Writing a poem is a grand expression Of the man I am and the one I want myself to be Words become lines, lines become poems, interconnected like brush strokes in a painting or the individual notes of a favorite song These words that capture my hea

  I'm sitting in this chair, arms tied behind my back. A dark room with pure shadows and nothing but whispers. Blind folded and pinned down to the sounds of
Faith... Grace... Mercy... Salvation... Redemption... I am told that I have these things. I am told that these things are given. Free. Free of charge to me.
I wake up to the warm morning sun. Already has this terrible moment begun? Outside the window I see many individuals pass, And out on the pavements that’s where they express their wraths.
I look in the mirror, but I don’t see my face, I see a lot of things that are pretty                   out of place. I gather my tools and I primp and I fashion, A mask to hide The flaws I imagined. 
Music notes Play in my head Sparking laughs, tears and shame. The girl I used to be Lost along the way. Tunnels and mazes Hide her pain.   Where is she? When will she come back?
To remember pain, confusion, and tears is a difficult thing for anyone—especially for those who do not understand.  Ten years is too short and far too long. For some, the wound has healed clean.
Her left hand rests palm-down against the mirror,this hand is relaxed in comparison to her fluttering mind.Who am I? She wonders.
Feelings, emotions building up Words bursting to life as I try to express myself. Physically pouring my thoughts on paper Critiquing my own judgments and views. The chance to improve myself,
She lies in bed with me at night, She pushes me to fight, She’s the fire that ignites, And inspires me to write, She says everything will be alright, And from the mirror looks into my eyes,
