Mirror

A true reflection or something else

A misplaced vision of oneself

An interpretation, the mind’s eye

We often search, no reason why

Behind the glass, there in a soul

If you look closely, a rabbit hole

Lines revealing a path we forged

Within us healing, our minds engorged

Move in closer, it signifies

A vision revealing, it magnifies

Not like a camera, where time slips by

A mirror’s a reflection, a question why

Just one blink, a single frame

Search for truth, hide from shame

We must conceal it, the impulse strong

A shallow vision, it lingers on

A distorted vision makes the heart cry

Is there a meaning, a reason why?

Sights unseen, an image new

In stillness it stands, a distorted view

An interpretation, it can deceive

We see ourselves in what we believe

A true reflection—seldom unseen

Misunderstanding, within a dream

A mask concealing what’s underneath

Remove the layers, restore belief.
