Mirror Poem by jayne carpenter

I look in the mirror and see you there, with anguish, distract and despair-i was young full of life and you caught me unaware, the more i looked the more i gave in to your glossy thoughtless stare, every part of my soul longed for this perfect goal.each day morning noon and night you made me believe that it was all right.you said i would glow but NO oh mirror what have you done, i am old and brittle and yet there is much i havent done! !
