A Trip To The Mirror

Just as the cover does not reveal the book~
not the subject, nor the time the author took~
The mirror judges only how I look.

In the looking glass, an echo of my face~
reveals no inner beauty, exposes no simple grace.
The flowers all but forgotten, I see only the vase.

I touch the mirror's surface, searching for more;
I feel only glass, not the sands upon my shore.
It does not show that my heart's an open door.

A reflection of me, that is no reflection of me,
giving no indication of the person I can be~
A loyal friend and a spirit that is free.

I took a trip to the mirror, to see how I look,
making sure to take note of the time the author took~
and remembering not to judge the cover of the book.

I can see I've missed some special stuff by not venturing into the games forum. I had no idea such wonderful talent was hidden in the corner.

Now I've got to make time to devour this thread!

Yeah, a little less cold please. Thanks

Nicely done.

--------------------

In the group...
In the group I am loud
I am proud, I am bold
but alone I am cold,
insecure and alone

I am alone in my fears
I have no confidence
no faith, nothing left
I am the empty shell
of a man

----------------------

Tonight I face
Demons of my own
Demons in my mind
they attempt to strike me blind.


The fire burns
as my insides churn
Moving to the beat
I am unable to rise to my feet
To stand and say the things to be said

These things I hold inside
Burning my heart alive
This wont be the night
the night that I cry

For
this isnt the night
I speak the words inside.
