By Invisible Poet

What do I see when i look into the mirror? I see a boy just there, not quite yet a man, I seek no lies, of truth I have no fear I see the crystals of time blowing away like sand When i look into a mirror hanging there i see eyes the color of night i see a face staring blankly back, not perfect yet fair i see a soldier looking for his next fight even as the mirror shatters with age my reflection does not change in the slightest i stare at the broken pieces like animal set free of cage remembering when my days were yet at there brightest i see my fathers face staring at me with disgust i see his visage soften and fade away the edges of this glass appear to hold rust where the tears have eaten at the metal day after day When i look into this Mirror I see more than myself, I see everyone else i hold so dear
