The Girl Beyond the Glass

The Girl Beyond The Glass

by Lauren Renée

Knowing the other self that lies beyond the looking glass.

The Girl Beyond The Glass

I always felt when I looked into the mirror
There was someone looking back from there
Somewhere beyond where I could see
Awaited the one who was the real me

And as I'd look into her eyes
I'd see the soul past the disguise
But still I tried to live a lie
And keep her locked away inside

There within the mirror she waited
Softly calling out to me
With a desire that never faded
She longed to be free

Now so many years have passed
And still she’s there beyond the glass
But at last she's breaking through the fear and doubt
And the girl inside the mirror is coming out

Beautiful...

But at last she's breaking through the fear and doubt
And the girl inside the mirror is coming out

Nice to see the last two verses. Thank you for blessing me with this.

Dio vi benedica tutti

It read

as this butterfly emerging from the cocoon, cathardic story in verse and I can almost see her coming out of that mirror in a gasp like someone getting finally freed from beneath the ice.

I don't normally comment on poetry but very good.
