The Mirrors

By Benj

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

It's not the years in your life rather, the life in your years, It's not how you've cried but how many tears, It's not a matter of strength but how you face your fears, It's not what they see in you but what you see in the mirrors, Who do you judge? Who judges you? I'd let you know but would it be true? For my words are a gray not a crisp clear blue, and I have to admit I've judged mirrors too.1999, Written October 10th, 2001 © on Oct 10 2001 10:03 AM PST   18 • 16 • 13
