Poem - Never Trust A Mirror

A beautiful poem that reminds us that there is more to you than what you see in the mirror. Look deeper, connect with your inner light, and see that you are more than just what's on the outside.

Never Trust a Mirror by Erin Hansen Never trust a mirror,

For a mirror always lies.

It makes you think that all your 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,

When 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.

Thank you for sharing . Heartfelt. Thinking of Louisa Hay’s mirror work ..💓🙏

Simple in it's focus, easing the mind to a valuable point. I am not a poet, so this review doesn't do the poem justice. Just listen.

I’d never heard this before but my goodness it struck a chord within me I try never to judge people on what you can see on the outside and yet I’ve never done that for myself ….thus was so powerful thank you for sharing 🙏❤️

Very effective, in our current world, which is so in love with photoshopped, perfect appearances, not inner worth.

Thank you🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻I love this, AND at the same time, I have used the mirror to really look myself in the eye, and get drawn deeper and deeper within…🙏🏻🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🙏🏻

Spot on! Thank you for this lovely reminder of where our true worth lies. 🩷

It was soothing to hear, because I am often disappointed when I see my reflection:(

It often surprises me how much we rely on mirrors. We are so much more than what is seen on the outside. The only thing I want in my reflection is the light, love & authentic self to be shared & seen. There’s something quite special to be truly seen at a deep & real level. 🙏💗🙏💗🙏💗

Wow. Powerful and beautiful. Thanks for sharing. 🥹🙏🙌

A wonderful heartfelt poem, spoken beautifully. Everyone needs to hear this! Thank you Carley ✨💜✨
