Mirrors (2001)

Mirrors- Do they tell truth or lies?
Look Past the face of imperfections
and look deep into your eyes.

You can see the evil star glow
and the innocent tear glisten.
Put your hand on your heart now.
Feel it, and listen.
The love it holds or pain it carries,
What you fondly remember or try to bury.
And through those round windows you have,
we can see it all- happy, angry, hurt, or sad.
So look into the mirror once more,
but instead of the outside,
 it's in your heart you should explore.
Do you know, now, the mirror holds truth but has lied?
Outer appearance is nothing compared to the soul inside!

ah, the message everyone needs to receive! I'm around too many people (probably including myself at times) that care so much about their physical apperances that getting to know their hearts and minds is difficult - that should never be the case. The Media has distorted the definition of beauty and has everyone captured in its trance...we're all hallucinating. You've unlocked a crucial lesson through this poem, the idea that your soul is so much more of a treasure than your hair color or make up. I always appreciate when people are genuine and honest through their poetry, well done!

An excellent poem. I can feel your feelings that you are trying to convey to your reader. The poem was easy to understand, and I can see the passion you put into your writing. I don't see anyway that this poem could be improved. I think you did a great job.
