Mirrors

When you look in the mirror

What do you see?

A boy

A girl

Well I just see me

A simple girl

At the age of 14

Not much of a looker

But hey that’s just me

I see

Long wavy hair

A few curls here and there

I see

A tall lanky shape

Tanned from the beach

I can see big hazel eyes

That hide secrets galore

I see down in those eyes

Past what the mirror perceives

 A deep quiet place

That I know all to well

I see things

Past the things

When you couldn’t see more

I see things that no one would want to explore

But just in the corner

Where the darkness cant hide

I see a glimmer of hope

In those deep hazel eyes

I see

A glimmer of joy

And a hint of hope

A bit of kindness

With a lot of faith

If you want to know

Exactly what I see

I see such love

And gentleness

As there ever could be

But the most important I see

Is the peace inside me

Those are the things

That I can see just outright

When I look in the mirror

I see a girl with big dreams

What do you see in the mirror

Because I see the best person I can be
