In the morning's mirror
He looked at his reflection
Pathetic failure
He really needed
A radical change in life
Was that possible?
Could he hide the past
Adopt a seamless persona
To fool one and all
The mirror's image
Burst out laughing in his face
Could not convince him

first he has to convince himself he can be better and believe it. Great poem.
ReplyDeleteI guess we must all be what we naturally are. That might be harder for some than for others.
ReplyDeleteMirrors are rarely good friends unless we train them to lie and tell us who is the fairest of them all..better to look at the reflection inside - i bet it shines
ReplyDeleteMirrors can be scary when we are not honest with ourselves. Well penned verse!
