The Mirror Calls Back

Mirror Image

© N Noël Jun 2008


Mirror mirror on the wall who’s inside hear my call.

Don’t retreat or except defeat keep moving to your own inner beat.

That reflection it calls back to me wondering where and when it lost

the friend trapped inside that mirror image on the other side.

Did it betray you? Made promises that have not come true?

Is it all a lie that mirror image on the other side.

Can’t call it friend or enemy it’s not just a part it’s all of me.

Can’t turn away forget you exist you will persist until I accept you.

That mirror image on the other side.

Some days a stranger others a friend.

Each day it changes and sometimes offends

That mirror image on the other side.

Will I learn to accept it or fight against in vain? That person

Looking back at me is the essence of who I became.

Mirror mirror on the wall let me stand and not fall.

Support the me I see in you that person I thought I once knew.

Time changes the reflection staring back at you.

Don’t hold fast to that mirror image on the other side.

Move past it grow strong from what’s inside.
