Mirror! Mirror!

When I looked at the mirror;

I saw me,

I saw a happier me,

I saw me glowing than ever.

As I touched the mirror;

I was back to reality,

The blues on my face were still there,

My lips were still chapped.

I sighed in despair,

Behind me, I heard the footsteps of my husband;

I whispered to the mirror,

Mirror! Mirror!

Conceal this dream of mine-

A dream where I will finally be free.
