My reflection is 

a mirage

purely an image 

Based

on deception

hidden with lies

buried in secrets

It whispers happiness 

to me

But all I can see in

this reflection is 

a face, 

blurred

uneven,

uncertain

pain all around me

this reflection 

is empty

nothing compared 

to

perfection

just ordinary

but broken 

unyielding

unspoken

and not opened

behind this reflection 

is nothing important

just someone ordinary

just another person,

Behind this reflection,

is a girl 

whose pain 

has caused her to just see this reflection

and nothing more

Little do I know that

behind this reflection 

is a smile

and eyes 

that do not yield to cries 

faith 

as big a mustard seed and

a heart

that beats 

for most

but not all

Behind this reflection is 

a dream 

deeply rooted 

and hope 

that I am more than a person

hiding behind the shadows of my reflection 

Behind this reflection

I must leave 

so that I can be more than just a reflection

but me.
