Mirror


I don’t really know

 

Where I need to go.

 

And I don’t really care.

 

I know that life isn’t always fair,

 

So what we all need to do,

 

Is live in the moment,

 

While it can last.


 

It’s been years since I first put it on,

 

but I think I’m finally ready to take off

 

This Dirty, Old, and Hard cast.

 

All I know for sure,

 

is that I am here.

 

Right now.

 

I am here, and I am here right now.

 

Even though you have been gone for some time,

 

And your still not here,

 

I’m alright with that.

 

If I ever want to see you,

 

All I have to do, is look in the

 

Mirror.

 

I see you in my eyes,

 

Your Blue, mixing with my Green,


To make a Sea.


I see you in my hair.


Your unruly and wild curls,


Are slowly over taking my box*-brown hair.


I see you, when I look over myself,


Your beauty, passed onto me.


I have your curves and  your looks.


You’re closer to me than I thought.


You never left,


Only hidden,


By my own pain.


Not until I discarded my mask,


Did I gain my knowledge.
