Winning Poems - Competition no 32: What do you see when you look in the mirror?

Mirror Mirror on the Wall
By * Sassy_Angel *

When I look into a mirror
what do I see
I see an old woman looking back at me
If i look deeper I can see a child
This child has blue eyes that carry sorrow
You see a blonde curly blue eye girl who smiles
Yet I can look behind the smile
And know the abuse by an uncle that never should of been
Fast forward a few years
I see young teenagers in love and planning a wedding
Then I see that same teenager broken heart and crying
The marriage was never to be
Then I see a young lady who got married
To find out the man she married was abusive
A young married woman who was made to sit in a hot car during summer moths
and bitter cold in the winter months wasnt allowed to stay at home
A few years later a mom of four babies who made her world
She had a rough life while babies were young
Yet she was able to keep them from harm
Three marriages they all taught her hard lessons
I dont see a woman who actually feels like she was ever loved
Now I see an old lady looking back at me wonderful
Why happiness she did not find
