the mirror
By qrt_inch
When I look into your eyes
It's hard to explain what I see
The beauty that is held within
The pain that's keeping you from being free
So much has happened in so few years
This world is not a nice place
Everywhere you turn
Someone slaps you in the face
You have to teach yourself
To overlook or ignore the pain
Even your own family
Left scars that forever remain
The world will keep spinning
No matter what we do
Somehow we all make it
Somehow we all pull through
We all die someday
The end is sooner than we know
Scars of the past remain forever, but
Someday they won't have such a bright glow

This is very beauitfully-stated. I really like the way the last stanza presents a glimmer of hope.
