About This Poem

The mirror is a Liar

Time to banish that old broken mirror
It only shows sadness in gives you tears
It's faulty reflection can paralize 
Don't listen to it's voice tell you sad lies

Find a new mirror take a really close look
You are in control take back what it took
You may be surprised by all that you see
Embrace this knowledge and see true beauty

Mirrors of distortion tell you you're less
Look beyond the makeup hair or that dress
I hope your conclusion is now not the same
Not seeing yourself would be such a shame

Embrace yourself you are one of a kind
Incomparable beauty, truly Devine 
See your reflection it's where to begin
Once witnessed you can let love in

    Well said Richard! The physical mirror shows only what the physical eye wants to see, it is the inner mirror that should guard our hearts. Wise words you've penned these.

    Lovely, Richard! Truly lovely! I will keep this poem close to my heart to remind me when that mirror wants to drag me down!

    Just about everyone sees flaws when they look in a mirror. We're always comparing ourselves with Hollywood's version of beauty. Beauty comes from within... have a great west coast day!

    I love this positive message. We are often the most critical of our own image...no matter who we are, or what our look. (It's the inside that should really matter) :)

    Richard.........I'm....I'm...going to cry! This means so much to me. I really can't thank you enough! Bless you for bringing me joy! I do have issues with self-acceptance. You are amazing! Thanks ever so much!

    I loved her poem, and I love this one too! Like I told her, I never was a fan of mirrors... they are jerks!

    Thanks Anne, it's to bad your mirror does not see what I see. I could see it from the first poem I read.
