The Mirror on the Wall
The mirror on the wall,
It does not see it all.
Deep down into the core,
The beauty, there is much more.
It does not see the pain,
And the wisdom you have gained.
It can see the wrinkle in time,
But not the laughter that defined.
It only see's the outside,
Not the you that's really there.
It doesn't see the warm
Embrace that's waiting
for you to share.
It can not see the smile
That is hidden beneath your skin.
The failures you have had,
Or even the wins.
The anger that is deep
And threatens to seep.
It only see's the cover,
Not the story hid beneath!

yep..sometimes I wish society would tell our youth this...that beauty is inside and all the outside looks are just fluff.
