In the mirror

What do you see when you look in the mirror?

Do you see something good, something bad, or do you see nothing at all?

Do you see someone young or someone old?

Do you see a beautiful flower, or a hideous beast?

We all see what we wish to see, inside the mirror.


I see the body of a young women, barely starting to live.

The women learns, she works, she loves

It is only in the eyes that anyone could see the truth

The pain, the hurt, the wrong doings in her past

That is what in the mirror.


I see the body of a child, full of joy.

Before all the pain came

The child loves everyone, she only wishes to make others smile

The child starts to fade to black, the cruelness of others engulfing her

That is what I see in the mirror.


I see the body of a women in her prime

Finally truly starting to live in her life

The women works for those she loves, doing what she loves

The pain is still there, but it doesn't matter anymore.

That is what I see in the mirror


I see the body of an old women, death at the door.

Her life is done, but the memories stay

The women looks back, thinking of all that has gone

The women remembers, the pain is gone, the happiness has stayed.

This is what I hope to see in the mirror.
