my mirror is no mirror
it is a being
a being that enjoys copying my way of life
it envies me
and so it reflects
and shows me
my every movements,
facial expressions and mumbling of words
in a negative way
so that i may lack
self confidence,
but no more
will i be manipulated
by my mirrors mischief
because my mirror
envies me

The author's comments:
i believe that many people are insecure about their looks and so i believe we can not see ourselves the way our mirror wants us to look. we look the way we want to and we must admire that.
