To The Lady In the Mirror
An Epistolary Sonnet
Dear Lady In the Mirror,
O! Lady In the Mirror, eyes so sad
Staring ahead, what are you looking at?
It can't be so, your reflection that bad
Well, maybe that chin hair, soft like a cat.
Lady In the Mirror, who do you see
A trollop of a cow, soft but demure?
The young Flibbertigibbet that's in thee?
You tell me no, but you don't seem so sure
Do you truly think that you look so old
And no man will give you but a mere glance
Lady, what troubling lies have you been sold
Your smile shines, cheeks glow, and those eyes—they dance!
And your reflection couldn't be clearer
O, my sad-eyed Lady In the Mirror.
Sincerely,
The Lady on the Other Side of the Mirror

There is always pain in life. It seems as if life isn’t worth living if there isn’t pain involved. To grow is to know pain. To love is to know pain. To learn is to know pain. Children are cruel. They poke fun at anything they can notice that is different about another. They migrate into groups of the haves and the have nots, but on the outskirts of those groups are the undesirables. The ones that don’t fit into any mold offered to them.
