I see a young girl who's not too pretty
And she doesn't stand too tall
She doesn't smile
At least not on the outside, anyways
But that is why I wish the mirror would reflect what's inside of me
Because inside my soul there is a bright light
That shines upon the things that the mirror cannot see
It's true that if the mirror could reflect inside of me
I might see fragments of a diminished soul
And bits of broken heart
But I would also see my heart and soul
Pick up the pieces and continue on with the fight
Slowly but surely slaying the Dragon of Unhappiness
And chasing away the demons
But instead of reflecting what's inside of me
My mirror would much rather show me

Whooooo is that girl I see, staring right back at me? When will my reflection show who I am inside?

Heh. Couldn't resist ;-)

I think everyone feels that way at some point. Especially during puberty. Nice write.

This has to be one of the best poems I have read on this site!

The concept is really original and your style of writing is really refreshing.

Fantastic, just brilliant.
