The MirrorA Poem by MichaelGrisbyWho Am I?Standing in front of the mirror you see yourself A lifeless, soulless, intangible being You aren’t really standing in front of the mirror You haven’t been me You’re not honest with friends, family, and more
importantly yourself. Instead, you lie about being some sort of paragon Hoping to gain acceptance Within your friends, family, and society That’s bullshit and you know it! Why are you afraid of showing the world me? Why is it every time you speak, I must keep quiet? Are you frightened that people will not accept me?
Anger…I feel it in you Prove me wrong! Prove to me that you are who you say you are! Touch my hand, If the mirror doesn’t break, you are who you
say you are However, If it breaks, each piece of glass represents a lie that you are © 2014 MichaelGrisbyReviews
