Watching The Girl In The Mirror
watching the girl in the mirror
tracing each line of her face
seeing the way the light falls and hides
familiar yet a stranger
she lives life flipped backwards
a pawn caught in your game
slowly shrinking away
but she’s had enough
so she’s climbed through
now true to herself
growing taller on her own path
not the one others think she should have
she no longer looks in the mirror
just inside her own heart

Sometime hard to look in the mirror. I like the thoughts and the ending. We must know peace inside and out to enjoy our life. Thank you for the excellent poem.
it’s taken me a while to see that. And I still slip sometimes. Looking in the mirror is hard some days. Thank you for your comment.
