Reflective Pane

     


        Who is me 

        At first, when I looked in the mirror 

        I saw a girl look back in fear 

        Her eyes dark brown 

        Her hair curled blonde 

        She smiled but I knew something was wrong 

       Her happiness seemed sheltered

        Her hand reached out for help 

        I didn't hear her scream 

        Though it was pain through glass I felt 

        She was covered in words that she had not written 

        Her skin coated with hate 

        I could hardly tell what hid beneath that glass mirror pane 

        She wiped tears from her eyes 

        and zipped up her disguise 

        a smile lit across her face        

        Makeup covered the words once engraved into her skin

        She looked stunning in all she was 

        She looked perfect and content 

         I kept going back to her deep dark eyes 

        wondering and wondering what they meant


                                                            -the audacity
