In the Mirror

"Can't you see that you're lying to yourself? You can't see the world through a mirror." ~Avril Lavigne Intently, I stare into the pond; Pondering over the reflection I see. Silently resting against a black wood tree, The cold water softly responding. All I can see is one reflection While looking alone in a mirror; A shining message, all too clear Echoing my quiet disconnection. "While watching in a looking glass, There is but one soul to see, All troubles rest solely on me." I caress the dew on the growing grass. In a reflection I learned from life: that you can't see the world through a mirror, Looking inside we can be so shear; We must reach out and see through others' eyes.
