Mirror Imagery
By; Jacquelyn Upton
Glittering eyes, full of smiles
Happy and proud all the way around
Never shed a tear, never scream out in fear
Never shown any signs of disappointment
or any signs of annoyance
Betrayed, lied, broken hearted
Still laughing at the pain
You stand there staring at my delusive face
Questioning what goes on inside my mind
Contemplating on if I'm really fine
I am everything you want me to be
Everything and anything instead of me
You look at me and see one of the happiest teens
Never showing any signs of misleading or doubt
Pleading on the inside not to let my feelings out
Don't be fooled by what you see
This is nothing but mirror imagery
Happy and proud all the way around
Never shed a tear, never scream out in fear
Never shown any signs of disappointment
or any signs of annoyance
Betrayed, lied, broken hearted
Still laughing at the pain
You stand there staring at my delusive face
Questioning what goes on inside my mind
Contemplating on if I'm really fine
I am everything you want me to be
Everything and anything instead of me
You look at me and see one of the happiest teens
Never showing any signs of misleading or doubt
Pleading on the inside not to let my feelings out
Don't be fooled by what you see
This is nothing but mirror imagery
I don’t know why this poem jumped out at me, there was just something about it that I liked… it has a sort of meaning to it that many people can relate too.
