A man's true character can be measured by what he would do when he believes he would never be found out.

When I look into this grand piece of glass,
I see myself.
Though not really me, but I in canvas;
My future self.
Something not real, soon to be, seeming crass.
Myself ruined.
A world somehow destroyed, encased in brass.
Break the mirror.
I’ve now got seven bad years to surpass.

The author's comments:
People get frustrated over the smallest things in life, and often create further problems in the process. Often times this includes things that can't even be changed, such as the way other people act, a person's immediate future, or even their own image.
