Reflections
October 27, 2015
What if our reflections
Really aren't what they seem?
What if they're the guardians of
A mirror's dangerous dream?
What if our reflections
Protect us from our very eyes?
Maybe they hide our true faces
And we see are lies.
What if our reflections
Only show us what we want?
What if, underneath we're not so good,
And our face is just a front?
And what if our reflections
Skipped and took off for a day?
Maybe then we'd accept our own unique beauty
And stop hiding behind a cliché.

I wrote this after seeing something on a website about our reflections "protecting" us. That is where I got the idea for it.
