In The Mirror Poem by Rose Marie Cook

In the mirror
Lies a soul
A girl with nothing
Life takes its toll

Her eyes flash open
Her breath sharp
Her body shakes
She is alive

Her heart beats crazy
Her flesh fills the frame
Her life laid before her
Her soul lights flame

Glass shatters
The body moves
Closer, closer
Into you

Body shaking
Thrashing within
Your eyes sunken
Replaced with new

In the mirror
Lies a reflection
A girl with a soul
And can conquer lifes toll

In the mirror
Lies her true self
The one she's ready
To show the world
