Room Full of Mirrors

By Rachelle Ann Ramos
Sept. 16, 2004

Room full of mirrors
All the same images, of this girl
Who is she?
Why are there so many of her?

This girl with the smiling face
A girl with a broken heart
A girl with a savage mind
The girl with empty eyes

All the same image
Which one is real
Which ones are just a mask
Which ones are lying to you

Why does this girl say these things
How is it she can put on this mask
Is she really this mischievous
Is she really this happy

Is that who you know
Do you know the image of the girl in
The room full of mirrors
Do you only know the reflection

Who is she really
Is she really happy
Is she really so…
Do you want to know who this girl is?

Will you chance a broken mirror to know her?
But that’s what she’s afraid of
She’s afraid of you really knowing her
The real her, not her reflection

If you did know her, the real her
Would you leave her with the broken mirror
The broken mirror you broke to know that hidden girl
Would embrace the real her true self
Would you try to know the real her?

If you found the real her
Past the broken glass
Past the broken reflection
Would you heal her?

Do you want to know the girl
Do want to know who she is
This girl with the many images
In the room full of mirrors, not one real

She is…..me
The girl with a broken heart
The girl with a savage mind
The girl with empty eyes

That girl in the crowd blending in. Smiling, laughing, seeming joyous with the widest grin. Making jokes, poking fun. Friends oblivious to the war she battles inside. In her mind there is a mirror. Like one that reflects the soul. What she sees freezes her mind. She's nothing. Nothing but a shadow. No conscience?...But then how can she laugh with friends that spend time with her. What of the family that had nurtured her? Opening her eyes she's in the crowd. But everything has changed. It's like a room full of mirrors. All the faces the same, they are all blurred, shadowed by someting. All of them blank. But why she asks herself. "Because we are all faceless until you look inside", a voice had said. Closing her eyes she faces that mirror, hearing that faceless shadow speak...She knowes that all this time that she had hidden herself from everyone. Never letting that shadow clear out to be the girl that she knows she is. But eventually that reflection will catch up. From that her true self will burst forth. The mascquarde will always end in one point. A mirror will always eventually break spillng forth the truth of the reflection.

About the author Rachelle Ann Ramos: I'm attempting to be an author, at any age writing a book is an amazing feat. But I bet it's harder when your just a highschool freshmen. I have always dreamed about being an author of an inspiring book in which teenagers can relate to. I certainly hope I can get through this let alone highschool.
