Stage of the Sinner

 

The face in the mirror tells us a story

It foreshadows her lack of a heart.

She makes not one speech-nor writes any words;

for the role, with her eyes she plays the part.

 

The deep seat of shame and wooden lain guilt

are felt through the eyes of her wounded soul.

The face in the mirror holds a false smile;

for of her actions God does know.

 

To those sitting closer her face it reveals

the secret behind the drapes in her mind

Though she tries to say not a word of her story;

through her eyes, the answers her audience finds.

 

There are sorrys she has made

they make no difference for inner peace.

The taunting scenes they will keep her hurting;

this play of guilt will never cease.

 

And though if you know, you may hate and despise

the face in the mirror you see.

I, too, am enraged at the face in the mirror,

the face a reflection of me!
