In the Mirror
Write a poem about what you see when you look in the mirror (or when you don’t).
Mirror
I climb within the mirror I stare at
I accept every detail that couldn’t be hand picked
This mirror only speaks truth
As my eyes align with the mirror’s, it all clicks
I have to get to know this person
I am my own stranger
You never see yourself as a danger
But today I stare deeper than usual into this mirror
Confusion collects its coins
Illusion itches to escape its cage
I let it.....
I can’t force myself to look away
I have to stay.....
This mirror is the closest I get to sanity
The closest I get to the answers I ask of
The only thing stopping me from feeling like I am here.....just because
