Poems written by Erin Hanson (e.h)

_______________________

Never trust a mirror,

for a mirror always lies,

It makes you think that all you're worth,

Can be seen from the outside.

Never trust a mirror,

It only shows you what's skin deep

You can't see how your eyelids flutter,

When you're drifting off to sleep.

It doesn't show you what the world sees,

When you're only being you,

Or how your eyes just light up,

When you're loving what you do.

It doesn't capture when you're smiling,

Where no-one else can see,

And your reflection cannot tell you,

Everything you mean to me.

Never trust a mirror,

For it only shows your skin,

And if you think that it dictates your worth,

It's time you looked within.

~e.h

You are not your age,

Nor the size of clothes you wear,

You are not a weight,

Or the colour of your hair,

You are not your name,

Or the dimples in your cheeks,

You are all the books you read,

And all the words you speak,

You are your croaky morning voice,

And the smiles you try to hide,

You're the sweetness in your laughther,

And every tear you've cried,

You're the songs you sing so loudly,

When you know you are all alone,

You're the places that you've been to,

And the one that you call home,

You're the things that you believe in,

And the people that you love,

You're the photos in your bedroom,

And the future you dream of,

You're made of so much beauty,

But it seems that you forgot,

When you decided that you were defined,

By all the things you're not.

~e.h

_______________________________

You tell me that you're hopeless,

You want your life less than your death,

But if you jumped into a pool right now,

I know you'd hold your breath,

So I know that it's not hopeless,

But that your hope's just hard to find,

And if I showed you all you can become,

I know you'd change your mind,

You might hit rock bottom,

But it's the perfect place to start,

Where the only thing that you can hear,

Is the beating of your heart,

You have almost to lose it,

To remember what you have had,

And that there's been a share of good times,

Mixed in between the bad,

So don't wait for the ending,

Until your last breath start to leave,

Before you finally remember,

How much you like to breathe.

~e.h
