Mirror

When I look into the mirror what do I see? I see a girl with a troubled past, struggling to believe what she’s told I see a girl struggling to accept herself Who am I? A struggling girl When I look at myself what do I see? I see a girl who hides herself I see a girl that’s insecure about her faults Who am I? A girl trying to find herself When I look at photos what do I see? I see a smile on the outside I see the pain in her eyes Who am I? A girl trying to fake it When I look at the bible what do I see? I see a savior dying for me I see that looks don’t matter Who am I? A wonderful work of art

Autumn, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
