What Mirrors Me
I've stood in front of mirrors.
Mirrors that showed every curve and and flaw.
Yet I didn't see my full self, only a fraction of me is represented in this.... Mirror
No one knows that I put othser before myself.
Or that my sick grandfather is my only true friend and when he's gone..
All I have is the lingering kisses on my forehead he gave me as a child.
My reflection can't tell everyone that I dance,
It record the emotions that run through my moving body when I hear the right song.
I am very emotional.
Im very expressive, but the mirror doesn't show that.
Eyes are like mirror and all they see is what's in front of them.
Never truly what's inside a person.
I am a young woman with a different outlook on life.
I can never say who I truly am because I believe I haven't lived to say who I am.
I am an unwritten book with chapters that have been erased and rewritten.
But your eyes. Those mirrors?
Only see what's inside of you
