The Mirror
By JadeG28
You show me a reflection that seems unreal, different from how I feel inside.My perception of myself is unlike the self I see in you, distorted in some way by the glass.On the other side is a world that seems perfect, mine is a world of imperfection.Things aren't the way they should be on this side of the glass.The woman I see in you is happy with a light heart, she is fortune-full.While my heart is heavy, she smiles.Does she know that I am broken?She mocks me from the otherside of the glass.Her laughter haunts me at night.When I close my eyes I see her in the glass, she is laughing.The glass that separates us is thin, yet we are miles apart.I am envious of her.Her carefree spirit I desire.If not for the glass that separates us I would be in that world.Curse this glass, this tortuous glass!You show me a world I cannot have.You show me a woman I cannot be.Oh, you spiteful glass!Sept. of 1999, Written October 5th, 2001 © on Oct 05 2001 05:58 AM PST 0 • 1
