I am a book

By Shalvi Sree

Mirror, mirror on the wall

I don't think you know me at all. 

Whilst you reflect the layer you see 

Please realize there is more to me.

 

You cannot hope that frame and skin 

Will let you read what lies within. 

I'm fire and passion, soul and art,

Untamed spirit giving heart.

 

And maybe beauty isn't mine 

(I do not match the term defined).

But flesh alone will not speak for me

I'm a book, come read my story.
