Mirror Mirror on the Wall

By: Ishita Khambete

Mirror mirror on the wall,

I want to see it all.

I want to fly through the air,

and swim through the deepest depths.

I dream to live,

and I live to see.

I see nothing,

and yet I see it all.

I want to understand myself,

and yet I never will.

I see my reflection,

and I want nothing to do with her.

I dream to feel nothing,

and I know that’s an unattainable hope.

I want to hope,

and I want to breathe.

Mirror mirror on the wall,

can’t you give it to me?
