Looking Through: Mirrors
We stare just to stare;
Attempting to memorize and familiarize
Saving an image of the face looking back at us into the empty bank within our brain
Imperfection after imperfection
Peering to discover meaning behind it all
The smeared peachy lip gloss and blushed tear-stained cheeks
Remember this moment and do not look away just yet
Bubbles of wonderment burst unexpectedly
What does the future cradle in its prospects that the present failed to bring to life?
Look within to resurrect that suppressed bolt of energy and charisma buried deep inside
Mirrors hold the answers in the disguise of perfect smiling faces
Break through.
Stare just to stare
