Journey From the Lonely Mirror

Look into the mirror. What do you see? Do you see yourself for who you are or something else?

Being i a large old house.

Going down the lone hallway.

Then suddenly you stop.

Something ketches your eye.

A girl looking back at you.

Her expression is cold as ice.

And yet there is that flick of fear in her eyes.

You don't realize this girl is yourself.

But how could it be?

She looks like she's been through all kinds of worldly troubles.

Then she reaches up her hand to reach yours.

You do the same and all your touch reaches is glass.

The realization comes to you that this girl standing in front of you is yourself.

Falling to the floor with the weight of knowing that this girl is you.

Through the tears of pain you ask yourself, "what happened on the journey of my life?"

Your back is to the mirror scared to look at yourself.

The feeling of not knowing who you are.

It's like in you mind you see a person who is beautiful and strong.

But the out side is still a beautiful girl but broken down by the words of this world.

With fear she shame you fell from this place with the plan of never returning.

Five years you return to this same house that brought you pain.

You search the house for that one mirror.

Going through every room but it can not be found.

Then finally you find it.

Wiping the dust from the years you see the face of that one poor girl in the mirror.

Remembering the pain that you felt that day.

The same girl from all those years ago stayed waiting for you.

So that she could escape from this trap.

You came to this house hopping to look into this mirror and not see the person you once did.

And as the tears come to you once again you smash the mirror.

Never reminded of the pain and sadness you once had.

Wow it does feel like a journey. Nice title by the way. The time passed by in the poem I like that. I mean it started at one age, then ended at another. When you finally broke the mirror, I was like "there." the mirror to me did symbolize all this hurt that you did feel, becasue it reflected you. Very nice poem, will read more.
