Mirror

Look in the mirror
What is it you see?
Hazel eyes above your
Favorite black dress
Looks clean and fresh
Ready to smile and
Meet you in the eye
Who will she impress?
Sometimes she’s pretty
In a subtle kind of way
With a sparkle in her eye
And her hair just right
The same person
She has always been
Looks different somehow
Could it be the light?
Is it the make-up?
That hasn’t changed
Budding confidence
Changes the lens
Beauty is in the eye
Of the beholder
Surround yourself
With positive friends

Is it ready?

Some I like to share Fresh out of the oven Don’t let it get cold That’s why I wrote it Emotions in that moment

Why do we love sunsets? Distinguishing fascination What other species Must stop and stare A romantic couple

How do you measure pain?

How do you measure pain? All is relative and personal Even with one’s own self It is impossible to compare As memory distorts pain
