Mirror Mirror...

 

Mirror, mirror on the wall

what is it that you see?

Beyond all the false illusions

Of who I've been conditioned to be

Mirror, mirror on the wall

Can you see my beauty inside?

do you acknowledge the poetic spirit within?

or do you gaze with lustful eyes?

what do you see when you look at me?

do you fancy the way I smile?

Am I truly a phenomenal woman?

or do you just dress up the truth, every once in a while?

my mama always thought I was beautiful

But then stared at me with envy

reminded me pretty ain't perfect

an attempt to keep me bonded to her own insecurities

mirror mirror on the wall

how much of me have your eyes truly traced?

have you witnessed the nightmares I've endured

or took a walk through shadows 

where pain pervades?

What is it that you've seen?

what are the terrors in which you’ve witnessed?

Do you remember those cold days?

A child abused

where no warmth could provide a fixing?--

We’d lock eyes in that suffocating space

wondering if there was something much better 

beyond this broken place...

Welcome to Day 5 of my two-week poetry series. I will be going on a 2-week venture of writing exercises to get my creative spirit in flow, which allows me to dive deeper into how I write--yes--but also, will help me dive deeper into my wisdom and insights from the universe. So--follow along this journey if you desire, and comment below the insights you may receive from these pieces.
