A dull mirror reflects the past
No more lies from the looking glass

I see in part, more clearly now
Was that me? I don't see how

Broken glass, broken past
A new window to my soul

Can you see the real me?

Nice poem, and if your poetry is the real you we can't wait to meet you more   (gosh, that sounded a little confusing when I just read it, but I guess I'll just leave it and hit submit.  I know you'll all get it )

Rex,
The pain in the past is just that.
It's the past, but for some reason thoughts are coming to mind. I did not write on paper I just typed as it came to me.
Good therapy I suppose.

I am glad you like the poem. Yes, what you said is a bit confusing, guess I'll get it
in a minute.

Deb...don't you know that poetry is the best therapy there is? Sometimes it allows us to express innermost feelings we tend to hold inside. There's nothing like a bit of writing to allow at least you, if no one else to see the real you. Nice poem by the way

there's nothing Hoot Owl RN said I can't agree with totally - take it to heart - I've been findng catharsis in it (poetry) for 3 years now

Loved the finish much.  The past sufferings and pains we endure need to be held in our memories to remind us to be human and they help us grow in strength and character if held in the proper light. Well done
