What the mirror said
I learned the hard way
I was born a cygnet
and when I shed my baby teeth
I learned the hard way
I was born a cygnet
and when I shed my baby teeth
not knowing I was a swan
I thought I was an ugly duckling
I looked away from the mirror
it always lied to me and told me big fibs
but I didn’t see that
the fowlish water was made of crocodile tears
and the rain fell in concentric circles
a stone skipped and danced
across the surface of the pond
I was mesmerized by a shattered reflection
I never learned the truth that
beauty comes from within.
(Now read it again from the bottom up).
