I wish I had a magic mirror,\u00a0 for memories do fade away,\u00a0 to only look back once more,\u00a0 on yesterday’s,\u00a0 today.<\/p>\n
To be able to hold this magic mirror in my hand,\u00a0 to look and see,\u00a0 remember,\u00a0 cry,\u00a0 and try to understand.<\/p>\n
To never Wonder just who I am, so I would never wonder why.<\/p>\n
To hold it to my chest,\u00a0 to let it shine into my soul,\u00a0 in hopes to see my heart,\u00a0 I hold it there until it broke apart.<\/p>\n
I would gather the broken pieces,\u00a0 and reflect them into the world, to undo all that has gone wrong.<\/p>\n
I would shine those pieces on every person in the world,\u00a0 to show them all,\u00a0 that they do belong.<\/p>\n
Then I would place the broken pieces in a velvet clothe,\u00a0 and lock them in a box.<\/p>\n
Then throw away the key,\u00a0 then keep that magical broken mirror hidden for all eternity…<\/p>\n
