Ode To: My Mirror
Thank you for seeing all of me.
“Ode To: My Mirror”
To the object that sees all of me
Every lump and bump
Scars, scratches, and bruises
Your pristine appearance astounds me
Crystal clear
Sharp edges protrude out
But your surface, as delicate as can be
I am simply me around you
My emotions aren’t afraid to flourish around you
They surface themselves
They allow themselves to be seen by you
The tears that stream down my cheeks
Are magnified by you
The act of crying
The grin that grows from ear to ear
A new-found twinkle in my eye
Happiness
You help me see it
I find myself primping
A date
The first one
Because of you
He saw me too
When I stand in front of you
I see the future
Everything I can be
I see the past
Everything I once was
I see the present
Everything that I am
Thank you for seeing all of me
