    MIRROR OF TRUTH

    Looking in the mirror, at a face I do not know
    Feeling all the feelings I try to not let show
    Wondering what my purpose is in this cold and lonely world
    Wondering why they can't see the anger inside this little girl
    Wishing for another life, a better one that doesn't hurt
    Wondering why I'm here and what it's all worth
    Thinking about the good times, though they are very few
    Asking myself why I can't be different, why I can't be like you
    Thinking about the future, and everything it holds
    Longing to be strong, beautiful, and bold
    Yearning to see a rainbow shining in the gray skies far above
    Hungering for what I can never have, something they call love
    Wanting to cling with all my might, but trying to let go
    Needing to learn all the things I do not know
    Hurting inside, for all the pain that I have been through
    Hoping to find a love that is true
    Fighting to hold back the tears of pain
    Staring through the pouring rain
    Seeing a little girl, so full of hopes and dreams
    Never even thinking that life's not what it seems
    Disguising myself, so others can't see my agony
    Longing for these chains to set me free
    Questioning my beliefs, trying to separate them from the lies
    Wondering why God can't hear my angry cries
    These are the feelings I can finally let show
    When I look into the mirror, at a face I do not know

    Touching, brave. You are facing what you need so badly to face, what we all need to face about our past and childhood. May all things good come to you.

    This poem is very truthful and meaningful to what the title is. Good job on this one!

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
