As I look in the mirror I ask myself Who is she Could she really be me How could that be She looks so sad Her once pink poutty lips Have now turned into a frown What happened to she This woman staring back at me Has sad brown eyes I can see the thin lines Forming around her eyes As much as she tries She can't hide Those sad brown eyes She can't For you see She's me!!

Dear GG...loved this,I dont like looking at myself cause I see only pain in my eyes a reminder of the way life has dealt to me.Especially now dont like seeing my once beautiful black hair is greying shows ones age,even though people tell me I look young for my age.I dont mind growing old but I dont like the grey look adds to the sadness in my eyes,but it cant be helped,we all age with time.
deep beautifully penned laura i can relate soulful write

Palomino I'm sorry to hear that gray you can cover It's the sadness that I see in my eyes that saddens me it has nothing to do with Make up or aging . I'm so busy trying to run and always hide my pain and help others feel good I forget about myself ! I looked in the mirror and I was truly surprised at myself! my once dancing clear brown eyes were no longer there when I looked in the mirror . I saw a sad woman it really got me thinking . Anyways I'm sure your beautiful inside as well as the outside thank you for your comment
Girlygirl196349OPFullerton, California USAJul 18, 2014
Liam thank you ! I think you get what I'm trying to convey hope your well lets get back in touch it's been several months
I am about to write a poem called "Liquid Mirrors"........it is about how refracted light distorts images when seen from pools of liquid. You just need to look at a solid surfaced mirror to see your true beauty. You are one of the most innocent and honest people on this corner, and because of that, you should be able to see this truth in any polished piece of glass that we call a mirror.

"She" is the expression of a very deep heart fel feeling.. It made me go to the mirror to see myself. I saw sadness in my eyes, I felt emptiness in my heart. I saw loneliness in my face. i realized that "she" is also a he.
