Mirror Mirror

The first verse of this poem isn't mine. I heard it on tv and liked it and I wrote a poem around it.

Enjoy.

Mirror mirror

On the wall

True beauty's not found

Here at all

It's not my eyes

It's not my chin

It's something hidden

Deep within

When I gaze in you

And see my face

I know that there's

A deeper place

A place that people

Cannot see

My heart, my soul

My inner 'me'

A place that longs

To touch, to hold

A place that hides

All pains, untold

A place that laughs

A place that cries

A place you can't see

With your eyes

The deepest place

Within my soul

That, without love,

Could not be whole

And so, sweet mirror

Upon my wall

Today I'll live

To give my all

From this day forth

I will impart

The endless beauty

Of my heart.
