Mirrors, a poem by Alyssah Alvarez

 Mirrors reflect what you see

I see a stranger, not me.

Mirrors only capture the outside

Not what I hide.


The weight I carry inside is unseen

Not showing a scene.

The glass holds no words

But I think of thousands, as big as herds.


The pieces of who I am

Is not shown, not even a gram.

There is more to find

But looking almost makes me blind.


When the mirror is broken, 

I start to see pieces that were unspoken.

I start to see a deeper version of me

One who is truly me.
