A Mirrors Reflection

Poetry Collection - 3

By The Perks of Being A BloggerPublished 5 years ago 1 min read
A photograph of a sunset on a beach

Mirror, mirror on the wall

Who's the fairest of them all?

Stranger staring back at me

Who is this that I see?

I don't know you but yet I do

Could it be that I am you?

Hair, eyes, it's all the same

Could it be we share a name?

The world may not tell us apart

But this rings wrong in my heart

You may be my reflection

But as I stand in inspection

I see the mask you use to hide

And I am on the other side

This face and body I see

Standing here before me

Is not who I really am

But more like a big sham

Mirror, mirror from the wall

I stand and watch as you fall

Scattered pieces on the floor

Shattering with a roar

Will I see in your shards

What is the truth by my regards?

Or will it always end to be

This person who is not me?

How do I find out the truth?

Or will it end in loss of youth?

Caged by what society orders

Will I ever escape these borders?

I tried to look inside this mirror

But my vision became not clearer

The truth lies within myself

Not in this mirror on the shelf

Perhaps one day all will see

The person that is really me
