Girl in the mirror

June 21, 2023 in English Poetry

In the mirror, a stranger stands before me,
A girl I do not recognize, yet she’s all I see.
Her smile radiates, brightening the world around,
But behind those eyes, a pretense is found.

She dances with grace, a master of disguise,
Hiding the truth within, where her essence lies.
She’s forgotten who she was, lost in the charade,
A fragile soul, longing to be conveyed.

Oh girl in the mirror, remember your truth,
Embrace the depths within, reclaim your youth.
Unveil the authentic self, let your spirit soar free,
Rekindle the flame that once defined thee.
