🔰Do You Still Practice Smiling In The Mirror? by illneas
Do you still practice smiling in the mirror?
You never quite got it right
You wrote poems about love, spiderwebs, and your chattering teeth
About the endless horizon in someone's eyes and the gravitational pull on your heart
You learned you can be replaced while you were staring at your own reflection
With each breath, you hoped the mirror would shatter in front of you
Sounding like a standing ovation to your best effort
Like an epilogue to your act
On days like these
We can't make a metaphor about your soul and the fragility of glass
And I'm truly afraid you know how to use a broken mirror
On days like these
The courage to write the poem about the days you never lived
Can only be found in the hug of a friend you never had
We still practice smiling in the mirror
Because this is what we do
We practice
We write poems about death,
Our friends
And our chattering teeth
You might say a broken mirror can still reflect
Like a metaphor about the resiliency of our existence
But we can't make metaphors anymore
On days like these
We breathe
We break
And get replaced
There isn't anything left to say
Just smile and pick up the pieces

Aaahhh it's insane how a single sentence can bring back so many memories. Excitingly waiting for this one. Heh.
Yayy you are the first comment
You're the proof that in every kind of grief there's beauty to be found. Your audience may be scattered around the world but in the soul we are all more or less the same. And I think there's at least some comfort in that.
This ♥️
True!
💙
I feel the same way, I'm really grateful for this community.
❤❤
This title in itself gave me chills, it says so much with just so little, truly this video will move mountains like all your videos have 💙
Thank you for watching my work ☺️
"Pick up the pieces."
Man, they're simple words but they mean so much. The poems you choose truly are emotional and the imagery from your camerawork stirs so many memories for myself. I love your work and what it means for us, as people. We can't make keep making metaphors, so we must move on. Thank you ❤
Yeap, thank you for watching my video
"Work on being in love with the person in the mirror who has been through so much but is still standing and smiling. "
❤️❤️❤️
I’ve always thought of myself as broken glass, so I felt those last few lines especially. Also, the cinematography 🖤 your channel has helped me love poetry when I thought I never would
Really happy to read, I also had a love hate relationship with poetry
1:57 you might say a broken mirror can still reflect, like a metaphor about the resiliency of our existence.
Such a beautiful sentence. ❤️❤️
I recently got the opportunity to finally go to college after spending my first two years online. As an introverted and reserved person, I had a very hard time approaching people and trying to be friends with them.
This poem was really touching and I'm still amazed at the power of words and how deeply they connect with the soul.
I also felt the same...I am a college student in first year of my graduation...i went to college for only three days...I have social anxiety and I am just scared to go to the college ...
Same here
Best wishes about your college 😊
@@tsb7188 Know this: a lot of fellow students are scared too. So tell yourself: if they are all scared, why should I? Don't let it bother you, as you are an intelligent being, developing yourself to maximize your impact. And finally: what other people think of you is NONE of YOUR business! 🖖😘👍
@@onemanarmyoma0155 thank you so much for your healing words....I am dealing with mental health issues yet I know I will overcome...i am not gonna give up.... thanks again
"You learned you can be replaced while staring at your own reflection" - this is deep!
Whoa you must be the oldest soul on the planet. Somehow you take the worst pain that I and others feel and turn it into something beautiful. Thank you 🙏🏽
^^
I'm not a fan of poetry, but this was actually quite good. I applaud you.
I wasn't a poetry fan for the biggest part of my life, I'm glad you are open-minded to new experiences
This video is one of my favourite with your photography, you are the person who originally inspired me to write myself and now I feel almost comfortable with my words on paper, thank you and I'm very proud xx
As you should be. I too am a poet and I think I know that celebrating heart - listen to it, it's kind. I wish you a great day.
Yay share your poetry with the world
I low-key wanna cry lol 🌻✨ beautiful poem; loved the way the shots were without colours then with colours 😊
Thank you for following my work, it means a lot
@@illneas You're welcome 😊🌻✨
We breathe
We break
We accept the reality as it is.
How beautifully the words are cluster together and the shifting of shade of video from b\w to bright is commendable❤✨
Heheh cinematic tricks
Hi, I'm quite a fan of your art. And I want you to know how much these little universes you create and breath life in- mean to me...and I'm sure, to many more people. Last two years were extremely hard for me...and unlike most people, I couldn't recover from that...stagnancy. Especially last year brought about what felt like an absolute and continuous low ...and i just wanted to stop feeling that way. Somehow... anyhow. My grandfather had a cerebral attack , my grandmother was diagnosed with stage two breast cancer. My mother had to undergo extensive and critical surgery of what was predicted as cancer and what was left of my sanity, seemed to be slipping away. I remember the day I was taking her in an ambulance for her surgery. We never had a... healthy, loving relationship. It's complicated. But...i remember feeling so horribly vulnerable and just...numb.... thinking i might just never see her again. At a moment of terrible weakness, i took a few pictures of her...resting her head on the windowpane...fragile and frail...with huge dark circles and tired closed eyes, with the water from the rain and almost-flooded Kolkata streets splashing against it. I've always been...a bit of an empath. That's probably an understatement. I missed so much of the non-existent online classes and studies in general that I'm repeating the grade (grade 12...last year of high school ? Idk what you call it). I haven't been very well..and I'm trying to pick up and tape my pieces together...so to say.
I blabbered a lot. Hope you don't read this. But what I wanted to say is...your videos gave me hope when I didn't have it. They provided those momentary bursts of appreciation...of beauty, of life. They still do. Thank you for existing.
I'm glad I read ur story. sending love
Thank you for opening up here, it means a lot. Your experiences feel rough, I wish you all the strength in the world
It is splendenet effort mg buddy .
there's a delicate artistic wise in "like a metaphor" relating to everything that comes next,, man you're blessed (even though it might feel like a curse sometimes)
I have my dozing cats, a bottle of vodka, it's snowing right now, and it's the first day I've had off in two weeks. This channel always has a way of being there when I need something to keep me from going completely insane. Thank you.
I’ve watched every video, and this one is my new favourite. Maybe because I’m feeling more like broken glass these days. Thank you for sharing. It helped ❤️
okay, youtube recommendations has been pretty sus lately but still happy finding this
I can't wait!!Just seeing the thumbnail I can tell this poem is gonna be a MASTERPIECE!!
Haha your account name trippin me out lmao
@@trippyfishie2295 hehehe 😁

I wanna thank you cause i have been holding things which i have already lost and your poem somehow provides a way to vent out my unknowns.❤️
Happy to read that ^^
This is a masterpiece!
I never knew i liked poetry so much,every video you release is even better then the last one!
I'm happy that youtube algorithm brought me to your channel !

Illneas I just wanted to say, thank you so much for sharing. You inspire me with your poems! I love all of them. Please keep shining! We need more like you ❣️
Aww thank you for the support 😌
I feel this SO deeply right now, such truth, spoken with love... thank you thank you thank you!
Thank you for sticking around and watching my work
This found me when I needed it.
❤️❤️❤️
you're my favourite artist/poet/youtuber.
Awww thank you
I'm looking forward to this. I didn't know smiling in the mirror was a thing
I took the song Smile Like You Mean It by the killers to heart when I was young. It might not seem like it, but a smile is never bad. Sometimes it's the only silver lining.
i really love the cinematography in this one, the colours at the end are so powerful. i can't describe how this video makes me feel... thank you illneas. 💙
Thank you sm for watching 😊
After a bad week at work this has helped to help the negative feelings ooze away from my heart and soul , thank you
I have no words for this video. I can’t stop crying. You are great Ilneas. Thank you so much for being here.

Super happy to read this
I relate to this deeply. Your poem ….is now my all time fav ♥️ Wow, I’m speechless.
Awwwww thank you once again
Felt like I was walking with you in that sombre but beautiful video.. Hope you are doing okay Illneas, I know it can be hard to stay afloat sometimes, in 'the noisy confusion of life.' Just want to tell you that I love your work and always look forward to seeing what you will release next :-) It is art that keeps us alive spiritually and mentally, your art included!
Awww I'm glad you liked it
do not, but still, as days pass by got a regular feeling of emptiness fueled by time, the things I dreamed and didn't have the courage to stand-up before. yet happy at the same time, finding new goals and improving little by little
This was worth the wait. Its truly an amazing poem. ❣❣❣
❤️❤️❤️
Man I wish We could meet one Day when the world Is no longer Bound by these Senseless Boundaries🖤❤️
This is beautiful !! 💥💜
I really really really love ur content 💓
Engraved in heart 🤧🥀

'' On days like these

loved it mate
That is beautiful. Just. Wow. :) all the love!
Oddly enough that is literally what I've been doing lately. Trying so hard to force myself to like myself and induce a state of happiness.
Take care friend
@@illneas thank you illneas 😊❤️
"...like an epilogue to your act". This. This is how i'd always felt, looking at broken glass. It would feel like time had stopped, we get a good long look, long enough to wonder what breaking really feels like.
This is a masterpiece ❤️
I am tired and done with all the people in my life but your videos just calms my mind. Thank you 😊 just amazing 😀😀
This is splendid!
I am the mirror...beautiful work. The video from grayscale to color was briliant; it just fit so well with the mood. The choice of a rainy day also added to the connection of picture and verse. Your work is always so moving becuase you capture feeling and emotion in picture, verse, and music blended into perfect art. Well done❤❤😊
I'm glad getting wet was worth it
Delicate, pure and Beautiful ❤
❤️❤️❤️
Idk but this poem is giving me a mixed feeling of insperation, sadness, and comfort i totaly like this poem and I saving this in my playlist
btw...HOW DO GET SUCH A GOOD BACKGROUND MUSIC?? I read ur poems but at the same time listening that background music is just soo relaxing!! Btw loved the poem!!

A thanks for watching my kinda undiscovered videos
@@illneas .. It feels happy hearing it... Indeed those need to be discovered
Holy shit dude. This stuff makes me cry. That sentence alone, do u still practice smiling in the mirror, felt so personal and relatable for lack of better words. Which by the way. I do practice smiling in the mirror.
I'm glad that you liked my poem, take care^^
@@illneas yeah no worries man. Love them. Have a good one
"We breathe, we break, and get replaced"
Simply great

❤️❤️❤️
I am an avid #MentalHealthAwareness advocate and spoken word performer, and I love this so much. I travel the country trying to bring that awareness on stages, in classrooms, hospitals, and on my RUclips channel, so I get excited when I see other advocates. 💙❤
I even don't have mirror in my home , i kinda forgot to smile lately, you remind me of smiling and I'm doing it while writing this.. Thanks Homies 💫
Take care friend ^^
Nice to see you smile
❤️❤️❤️
thank you
A wonderfully touching share, my friend. Well done. ♥️🔥
❤️❤️❤️
Brilliant... ❤️
❤️❤️❤️
Mr Photographer.. give me a smile..why won't you give me a smile even at the end
I practice smiling all the time because I don’t naturally smile with my eyes only my mouth, and I think not smiling with the eyes makes people think my smile is fake when it’s not.
Don't overthink it, just be you
illneas thank you
Breaks my heart but i love it
It's beautiful 💟
❤️❤️❤️
Greetings, illneas! I must begin by saying that I love your work, as many do. Putting together the work of the voices that speak for us when we can't with music, both forms of art which resonate with our souls the most and combined with your staggering camera artwork, visually capturing the meaning of words. Your talent is outstanding. That being said, I would like to offer my voice for one of your videos, if you may have it. I was watching "Be kind" and the idea just came to mind. Charles Bukowski and E. A. Poe are my favourite writers at the moment, so that may be a good fit since the emotional connection can be felt through my voice. Feel free to drop me a line, it would be my absolute pleasure and I would gladly do it however you see fit. Thank you for your work!
Well done
Just Woww...❤️
Thanks
I'll pick up the pieces, but a smile eludes me...
This hurts very close to my heart
I hope u r ok
Well, i didnt listen it yet, but i bet My guts it will be amazing!!❤️
@Everythings Eventual agh, did someone ask u? I see other hate comment from u, stfu
Pretty poem about the days never lived.
you saved me today
It broke something, it healed something....
Yes I do
Every morning
I love the voice! And the line do you still practice smiling in the mirror, I didnt quite get it right!
WHY ???!...
Yes, i have practiced so much that it seems natural and spontaneous; and the pieces i pick seem invisible.
Then when I try to walk on.. they look, politely nod and walk on into their coloured lives, while I seem to be walking endlessly in the same spot.
Getting replaced.. the helpless agonizing pain.
Smiling endlessly.
