SHE

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!!

If I looked half as good as you, I'd be grinning!
Your familiar smile will soon be gazing back at you.

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.thumbs up hug

Palomino I'm sorry to hear that comfort gray you can cover hug 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 teddybear hug
Girlygirl196349
Liam thank you ! I think you get what I'm trying to convey teddybear hope your well lets get back in touch it's been several months teddybear

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.
