I walk down the Hall
Of one hundred mirrors.
In each one I see
a different face
staring back at me
even though they're all the same
In one,who I was
In another, who I am
In many more, my secret hopes, dreams, and wishes
of everything I could have been
Everything I could be.
I see a bit of everything
Not even I
can quite comprehend
The faces staring back at me
And they're all mine

I love this, it really makes me think. I agree with Mesh, don't repeat "hall" in the second line. I would probably do something like "I walk down/the Hall of 100 Mirrors". But it's your poem, entirely up to you.
Overall, it was very good, nicely written, with a cool subject. Kudos!

Yeah, overall I like it, but the second line, don't repeat hall. Maybe write, "Of a 100 mirrors" taking out hall just makes it flow better and just roll right off the tongue. The subject was great, and it really made me think. :thumb:

I walk down the Hall of one hundred mirrors.

In each one I see a different face

staring back at me add a comma here

even though they're all the same add a period here.

In one, who I was

In another, who I am

In many more, my secret hopes, dreams, and wishes add a period here

of e Everything I could have been

Everything I could be.

I see a bit of everything

Not even I can quite comprehend

The faces staring back at me add a comma here

(Extra space for dramatic purposes)
And they're all mine

I enjoyed this poem. As you can see I've reworked your structure a little bit.
Great job, good luck, and keep writing.

Nice Job Nite I really like it. It made me smile because it reminds me of the circus and the hall of mirrors there. I alway got the image decribed in here from that...would always be like "Heyyyyy I'm different and I love it!!!" Haha anyways good job and Happy Writing. I can't wait for more. Keep up the amazing works and hope you receive many helpful reviews.

This last line seemed a bit out of place to me for some reason. Though it was still quite good.

Excellent job, all together. :)
