Let your true self be your Mirror,Learn to validate your soul
A reflection that brightens with new meaning
Is such beauty to behold

You may speak into this mirror
Every word is taken in
While listened to respectfully
Without judgement, you will win

Your mirror sees no color
Its not tainted nor unkind
This mirror of true sentiments
Is the rarest one to find

Be grateful for this mirror
Its here you may confide
Let go of all uncertainties
Release whats held inside

Its not purchased with our money
Its not hanging on our wall
Its a mirror of our true self
And the greatest gift for all

When I read this poem it didn't seem dark at all, but thinking about it... the idea of looking into a mirror and seeing one's true self is darker than you might believe....
Anyway, i liked it

Nice poem, Deborah. But my mirror is not my friend...It insists on telling me horrifying lies.

this was a really great poem, but i agree with catalinamoon. My mirror is not my r=friend either. I tells me all of my faults and mistakes. but the poem was very well written, good job
