Through the Looking Glass


Through the looking glass

stands a female.

Not yet a woman,

but no longer a girl. 

 

Through the looking glass

emotions set sail.

A smile that hides pain,

but still greets the  world. 

 

Through the looking glass

her fingers leave a trail.

Cascading down like rain, 

hitting the bottom of a curl. 

 

 

Through the looking glass

it shares her tale.

A struggle it contains, 

the transformation of a pearl.
