mirror mirror (Free verse) by singinkygal
Who's reflection is this
the only similarity I can distinguish
are the eyes staring back at me
who is this person
the one they call you
and I call me
she reaches out to touch the glass as I do
in disbelief
then pulls away looks away
everything is the same
except for the inside
in that world she no longer lives when I walk away
but in my world I stay
caught up trying to please but still
always having someone's displeasing eyes upon me
the worry, the shame, the pain
she is the lucky one
in her world
