Travel thru the mirror<\/p>\n
Where my face used to be<\/p>\n
No wrinkles<\/p>\n
Where my neck was smooth and silky<\/p>\n
Travel to before the gray tinge<\/p>\n
And the small hump<\/p>\n
forcing me to lean forward<\/p>\n
Travel thru the mirror<\/p>\n
Where innocence lived<\/p>\n
Where Love was simple<\/p>\n
and the Future alive<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Travel back here and see the reality<\/p>\n
A woman aged and tired<\/p>\n
Saged and wired<\/p>\n
Regrets, broken hearts<\/p>\n
Responsibilities<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Travel thru the mirror<\/p>\n
One day an aged crone<\/p>\n
Will look back at me<\/p>\n
See innocence and love<\/p>\n
And wonder why<\/p>\n
I believed in regrets<\/p>\n
Why I worried over broken hearts<\/p>\n
and responsibilities<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The mirror reflects<\/p>\n
What our eyes see<\/p>\n
a moment’s glimpse<\/p>\n
Into the self we imagine<\/p>\n
ourselves to be.<\/p>\n
