About the Poem
I never really knew myself until I stared at the mirror and looked past the collection of parts that I called me.
Mirror Mirror |
| by Leslie Callejas |
| Mirror-mirror on the wall show me what you see if you really reflect it all show every piece of me behind my eyes, behind my smile deep into my soul linger for a little while show me all you know not just a figure standing here reveal all that's inside show me, even though I fear here and now, it's time show the bruised and battered place in me the piece that just can't cope the part that longs to be set free the side where life's a joke the innocence hiding behind the sin the adult inside the child the heart that won't let anyone in the piece of me that's mild the place in me that's always red the part that's forever blue the side that follows what is said the piece that's always confused the place in me that thinks I’m right the part that knows I’m wrong the side that's bloated up with pride the piece that can't go on the coward inside the fighter the genius next to the dumb the part that's drunk with laughter the side that shies from fun so, mirror-mirror on the wall I’ll step back so I can see if you really reflect it all and show every piece of me |
