Reality is only something we perceive, but dreams are something we create - By little me!
Don't lose yourself friends because you couldn't forgive your enemies- Also by me.... I think.... xD


Beyond the looking glass

She stands all alone

In her reflection

Which she now calls home


Beyond the looking glass

There a figure stands

With puffy red eyes

And shaking gnarled hands


Beyond the looking glass

She cannot look away

As her confidence

Begins to unravel and fray


Beyond the looking glass

Only she can see

That there lies a monster

"and that monster is me"


The author's comments:
This poem is about insecurity and the way people who feel insecure about how they look may view themselves when they look in the mirror. And how the reflection in the mirror almost becomes this self-destroying monster that only shows flaws.
