What do you see?

Twisted lies they told you.

Angry words you still believe.

When you look into a mirror,

which image do you see?

A child fat and ugly?

Or a woman Grown and Free?

Rae, how could I have failed

Rae, how could I have failed to comment on this very earliest poem of yours on PostPoems?  I see that even Afzaul Shaq managed to comment (and also, as was customary, to insert an allusion to his political beliefs).  I am sorry I let you down by failing to visit this poem in a timely manner.  I hope that, now in Heaven, you have some idea of how much I miss you, and that I am truly sorry for failing to comment on your earliest poem.

What do I see
In you and me?
I see two swans lovely and free.
You inspired me to post "Girl In The Mirrors Glass"..a similar thought to this lovely poem of yours.

You're comment really made this for me, it was almost read as the last line of the poem. It tied the piece up and gave it that personal hint. It givs the reader an insight into your life from a poem which was initially all about them, it makes you see the whole thing in a completely different way. I liked it, a lot.
