Mirror

I wish to see your smile again Unabated My tear ducts coat the ruby soaked foundation That I stand on I listen to bluebirds sing their uplifting whispers While this concave reflection Knows what it did yesterday Yet, I only have 15 minutes to decide How I want to be treated tomorrow I tell myself the innocent laughter That hovers within my nocturnal skies Can And should Be better to me Because darkness is all I knew. Now it’s time to show it the mirror. For I am Somebody ©D.J.E.

You are indeed someone! Your mirror probably can't handle the brilliance of your spirit.
