My first sonnet was lonely, so I wrote another one to keep it company. This sonnet is about some of my intrinsic values. I am a very self-conscience person, and this reflects how I feel about myself most of the time. There is a hint of self-acceptance at the end much like Amanda Palmer's "In My Mind". It is a very uplifting song if you need to get out of a state of depression.
Sonnet II
From the beginning, I can remember,
There were flaws in me I wanted to change.
In the mirror, I saw my eyes burn ember.
My irises bloomed brown to green; twas strange.
There was a girl who smiled in the mirror--
We stood like twins, but she was no reflection
When I looked away, she grew much nearer,
But further from my need for perfection.
I could only see my limitations,
She desired nothing less than ideal.
I made impossible expectations,
She hated me not being surreal,
In the mirror world; one of us is trapped.

Both sonnets are beautiful and deep in meaning, but I like sonnet II better. It sound more human than sonnet I. It seems to have more personal feelings in it. I love it.
