The Man and The MirrorA Poem by Kevin KapplerThis mirror is magic. Upon gazing into it- the mystical mirror shows your truer self. What makes you you.I thought a smile lit the dark It was just your mask Hiding the pain of your heart Shrouds of guilt and painful shame inside of you it Rains Hard Blame Did you know you are the Gem? Outside your prison Outside Your Dark Pain’s Wall A doorway remains to the outside of these halls. I thought your reflection showed A swan amongst ugly ducks That was your downfall The man and the mirror From it’s reflection.. He tried to make things clearer Did you think you were alone? I was at your side But you were blind To the shades of the lost Sunglasses of pain that cut you needlessly to the bone. Pride is a condition that makes one’s heart weak. Take them off. Take Off These Shades See the man and the mirror He’s in your heart Singing Take A Peek He’s Singing to you Longing to make things in your dark life so much clearer. © 2023 Kevin Kappler |
