When I look in the mirror I see a stranger- The reflection smiles back at me, With an air of confidence, A touch of arrogance. Someone unruffled by daily cares and stress. Is this the me that others see? Does the woman in the mirror Feel pain and loss and sadness, As I do? Does she cry, as well as Laugh? Does she feel the pain of others? Do people see the real me? Do I let them? [This message has been edited by L Tiuch (edited 07-18-2000).] |

That last line is the real question...."do I let them"....often wondered the same things myself looking in the mirror. Great idea and an equally great poem....thanks for sharing. Got my vote for sure! |

LT - Wonderful poem, isn't it funny how we see that reflection in the mirror, and often wonder who it is we are looking at and what or who others see. "Do I let them?" I hope so. Bonnie |

LTiuch~ I'm drawn to 'reflections' ... with a tendency to try to be as honest with the reflection as I am with myself. My great grandmother taught me the daily ritual of 'reflecting' at a very early age. I've never forgotten it ... and I still look deeply into the reflections of who I am. Glad to have you share this piece. Thank you. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |
