When I look in the mirror

January 14, 2012
By Anonymous

When I look in the mirror,
I see two sides,
one everyone can see,
and one side I want to be,
I see disgust in my eyes,
you see a pretty blue,
I see a mouth that lies,
You see a person you want to be too,
I can see insecurity and hate,
you see a confident person,
that everyone can relate,
I see a deep depression,
that covers my mind,
you see a smile,
and the happy person,
that lives inside,
you see,
a mirror has two sides,
much like the person looking in,
you see who they are,
not where they've been.
