As I stare into the mirror, <br />My life flashes by. <br />As I stare into the mirror, <br />Tears begin to fill my eyes. <br /> <br />As I stare into the mirror, <br />I'm looking back at myself. <br />As I stare inth the mirror, <br />I think 'what the hell? ' <br /> <br />I've never realized <br />That I've been <br />Hiding behind so many lies. <br />I've never realized <br />How many people I have hurt. <br />I've never realized <br />All the scars I've given. <br />All the pain I've inflicted... <br />Until I stared into the mirror. <br /> <br />I was walking, <br />Not talking, <br />But with my actions, <br />I was swearing at the world. <br /> <br />Then I walked past <br />A window. <br />And punched it in. <br />I was facing a cracked reflection. <br /> <br />I've never realized <br />That I've been <br />Hiding behind so many lies. <br />I've never realized <br />How many people I have hurt. <br />I've never realized <br />All the scars I've given. <br />All the pain I've inflicted... <br />Until I stared into the mirror <br /> <br />I was dating, <br />Then hating <br />Guy after guy. <br />And breaking their hearts. <br /> <br />Then I looked down, <br />Into the water. <br />And threw a rock in. <br />I was looking at a scattered reflection. <br /> <br />I've never realized <br />That I've been <br />Hiding behind so many lies. <br />I've never realized <br />How many people I have hurt. <br />I've never realized <br />All the scars I've given. <br />All the pain I've inflicted... <br />Until I stared into the mirror<br /><br />Kylee Bartz<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-mirror-60/
