the looking glass

•

truth or distortion?

what is it you see?

is it a contrived perception

or

the person you believe yourself to be?

•

a mirror can be a friend –

revealing beauty

inside or out.

it can also be a fraud –

killing life’s dreams

and

fueling one’s doubts.

•

there is always too much –

never any less.

nothing ever seems right,

though we desperately try our best.

•

the eyes only see

what they alone can see

and

the mind stands behind

to confirm what it all means.

•

some people find contentment –

they are happy just to be

and

there are those

who struggle daily

never

liking

what they see.
