Poets Words

Avery Cotten, Reporter

Dedicated to: my amazing friends…and the things, and people we never stop thinking about

Never listen to a mirror
For mirrors always lie
They tell the story of your beauty
As if its only from the outside
They teach you that your worth
Depends on what the light reflects
When really it’s your heart
That matters in the end
The pain that you are feeling
May not show in the glass
But I promise you it’s real
And that one day it will pass
I know it from first-hand
How helpless you may feel
But don’t forget how happy you could be
When all you want to do is kneel
Stand strong to what you live for
The rest will come,
its true
Patience shows your beauty
Not the fake smile staring back at you.
