This is a literature class, and that's what writers do. We put pen to paper in times of devastating tragedy. And we just try and make sense of it. Maybe we'll find clarity in some of those words. Maybe we'll find peace. - One Tree Hill

You fix my flaws
Because you show me my true beauty
You bring out the best in me
In the ways you make me laugh
You tell me when I'm wrong
But you also tell me when I'm right
You teach me to love myself
You teach me to appreciate myself
My mirror you help me
In times that I fall short
My mirror you help me
In times that I need a friend
You reflect who I am
The good and the bad
You are my mirror
When I look at you
I see you smiling back
With those brown eyes
Because you are my mirror
And you show me
All of me
