Untitled

She searches for herself
in the eyes of her lovers
becoming what she thinks she sees.     
She was not taught that being is something she is -

not bought, sold, or mimicked;

and roams this life
empty and aching
searching for the price tag
of a moment’s peace

when the mask can rest.

The mirror is unkind
and will not touch her
and she wonders
why.

    Selfish one can't think of others and when tries to see self image in own mirror becomes frustrated because others are gone out of life. Thereafter blames other instead self. Excellent thought and it's thought provoking one. Thanks, loved always, bl

    Multimirrored reflections can reveal what each may seem to be reality.... But there is only one truth. Keep searching, dear child...... truth is always waiting to be found...... Great writing.... Jake
