PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Oh how the mirror lies;

the deception it casts

cuts me like sharp shards.



What I behold is an image

with jagged thoughts

and edgy temperaments.



When deep inside, where

reflection truly lies~

the real me is revealed.



It is a painful realization:

seeing that this figure

is such a fragile figment.



What hides behind skin is

exposed by backlit mirror

though I tried to conceal it.



With truth’s illumination,

my ego shatters in pieces

as I examine my inner flaws.



You hold the fragments

of me in cupped palms,

repairing my brokenness.



And now the mirror echoes

what lies on skin’s surface

as well as what hides within.  



I see myself completely;

no longer damaged because

You made me whole.



Created in Your likeness,

I am beautifully mended,

when I emulate Your face.
