Truth in the mirror

I’m thinking of you, looking at the mirror 

Tears stream down your face

Everyone had left 

Even though they said they would stay

And you feel so sad because all you do is keep the darkness away 

You hate yourself for feeling 

It would be much easier to move through life without meaning 

But then you remember who you are

Kohl rimmed eyes, red 

Dark hair, so fierce 

A radiance that is so clear 

The lion 

with all its poise and presence

A reflection of beauty 

That’s the truth in the mirror.
