Mirrors


I wish Just once I could look in the mirror And not Want To Scream. All I ever see Is that thing in the mirror That everyone says Is me. I only see My Ugly Face. Once, Just once, I want to look And not want to break The mirror In front of me. Once, Just once, I want to Not take joy In the idea of the broken shards Scattered on the floor. Once, Just once, I want to see Beauty.
