Mirror

A Poem by Christina Braceros

I stare at my reflection

and wonder why

I tried to destroy the girl that I spy

in front of me

 

In the mirror I remember

how I used to wish I was someone else

how I wished that the girl there would just go away

 

but now as I stare

I can't imagine why anymore

the reasons seem lost

all I see in the mirror

is the girl I will always be

 

smile happy and outgoing

I thought the mirror was my worst enemy

but it turned out to be my friend

let me see things the way they were

and the images were never blurred

 

The mirror was more honest

than any living person

it showed my ups and downs

the good and the bad

but in the end

I was always me

and always will be

 

The mirror

showed the truth

of how things are and will be

I see the thing that I tried to kill completely

and honsetly

I wasted the time

 

The mirror

my enemy

my best friend

my truth

myself
