Reflections in the mirror
Reflecting what is real,
A silhouette of the soul
As layers start to peel,
Revealing depths of self
Through eyes of surface scars,
Imperfections healed
While witnessed from afar.
Rectifying me
Through self-indulgent eyes,
Becoming what I see
Pictured in my mind,
A separate view is cast
For eyes not of my own,
A person worlds-apart
From he, who I have known.
Reflections in the mirror
Reflecting what I see,
But you see more or less
Than the mirror sees in me!
