Reflections

“You’re not the girl you used to be,”

the mirror says each day to me.

 

I look her squarely in the eye,

“I’m wiser now,” is my reply.

Thank you, Kimmy. When I wrote it, this felt like nothing more needed to be said.

Short and simple, but with a lot of meaning behind it. Very powerful poem!

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you so much, Danielle!

[Samuel Jack]

Powerful stuff, except I say "your not the beard your spose to be" I'll get the damn thing to grow one day.
You could go on for ages about this subject, but why bother when two stanzas says it all. Great poem.

[Rita L. Sev]

:) Thank you, Samuel!

Beautiful work, Rita! To be wiser as a woman instead of a girl; what a dream :P I admire the speaker for her confidence and maturity.

[Rita L. Sev]

Maturity has taken a long time to kick in... ;) Thank you, Ria.

A short, to-the-point write demands a short, to-the-point review...I love it :)

I like the reply in the second stanza. It shows confidence and knowledge gained through many life lessons. That is a pretty inspiring thing, actually. Realizing how you have changed and embracing the goodness that is there. I like how the speaker in this one overcomes the criticism of the mirror.

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you. Yes, the mirror should never have the final say...
