Girl In The Mirror
Reaching out, I touch the fingers of a tiny hand. I gaze into the blue eyes of a childish figure. A smile spreads across her young face. Looking at her, I see a reflection of the child I was not so long ago. It seems the girl in the mirror, I was so fond of, never grew up.

I'm not a fan of looking at myself in the mirror, afraid I'd break it lol... But hey, it sure does aid with amazing storytelling n imagery in a piece :)

Wonderfully refective! I still have conversations with that little guy in me. He was a little hobo too, jumping boxcars to rde down to the Ohio river to fish. Great poem! I just ride words now, safer

This poem resonates with me on such a deep level! I have had similar self-realizations when looking in the mirror and at times still seeing the child that I used to be and yet also still am. My inner child also never fully grew up, but over the long years I have nurtured my inner child and allowed it to show itself much more often than when I thought I was too cool for that as a teenager. Your poem is so beautiful, and also so heartbreaking at the same time because the world we live in sometimes does not understand such things. But I understand them and am moved by such poetic, profound, and of course personal musings! Thank you for sharing these verses... and helping me to see, that I am not the only one. :D
