HOLD ON TO THIS MIRROR by Joanne Boyle


"HOLD ON TO THIS MIRROR"
by 
Joanne Boyle

I stood in front of you today
and looked you in the eye,
I told you to listen
to these rules that do apply.
It's NOT your fault for wanting,
or expecting some support.
It's NOT your fault that others
don't give you a second thought.
You are NOT to blame,
for that text they didn't send.
You are NOT to blame
for what happens at their end.
That it IS ok, to expect more
from those who say they care.
That it IS ok to feel angry
because you are always there.
That rejection that you feel
Well that's OK too
as long as you remember,
it reflects THEM more than you.
When you Question Why,
I will tell you why?
They don't know what they do,
or care if you cry.
So hold on to this mirror
and when you look me in the eye,
stand up and be counted,
as your feelings DO APPLY.
