Inside the Mirror
By Devon Riggan


She looks at her own reflection
Staring with eyes of inspection
Flaws is all she's able to see
A smile inside unable to be set free

But I see her as if inside the mirror
Looking at her hold back tears
A beautiful heart and beautiful face
Feeling like she has no place
But so many who would die to be
The person whom she can not see

The one I look at from inside
The sorrow she is unable to hide
She's beautiful in every possible way
If she'd only learn to live in today

Golden heart with invisible scars
Her happiness locked behind bars
A weak knee ready to lean
A closed mouth ready to scream
A frigid heart afraid to break
Because this time it might not recuperate
Destined eyes with a history of cries
Confront her and there are only lies

Why can't she live the life she dreams
Or finally let out her held back screams
Why can't she smile at herself
Just forget the tomorrow and live without fear..

Why can't she just see what I see;
Looking at her from inside the mirror.
