Mirror (staring back at me)

Mirror

The reflection stares back at you as you look into your own eyes
Every little imperfection that you would usually be able to ignore
You stare and wonder what could ever be seen in what stares back at you

How many times have you looked into those eyes and tried to find something
Something that tells you that you are worthwhile or worth anything to anyone
Eyes blinking and you hope to see something different in that reflection

The image may change with subtle movements but deep inside it never changes
The lies that you tell yourself or care to believe are just that, lies not to be believed
The mirror we keep to show us what the world must see
