Mirror, not mirror,
I see myself clearer.
The love unrequited
Madness of the commited.

Mirror, not mirror,
I see my pain clearer.
Lonely and abused,
Exploited and used.

Mirror, not mirror,
I see my worth clearer.
That I am not undeserving
Of the things of my yearning.

Mirror, not mirror,
Please see yourself clearer.
The suffering we have known
Need not be born alone.

Mirror, not mirror,
I beg you shine clearer.
Fate needn't be to corrode and bend,
For it may yet be possible to shine true til the end.

Greetings!

We, The Writer Gang, would like to add your work to our group! Additionally, we would like your permission to have it read in our upcoming reading video.
We are doing this because we wish to help writers  spread their works far and wide (For we have fallen into obscurity).
If you would like to know more about us, please drop by our group! It is small at the moment, but is growing by the day with help from writers like you! ^^
We hope to hear from you soon!
