Mirrors

June 5, 2013
By Anonymous

Set up high upon the bedroom wall
Or crookedly aligned in front of a bathroom stall
Sits the mirror, patiently awaiting its unknown guest
An accidental Rorschach test
Four cornered, bare and plain
It is so surprising the influence it can gain
When you let it be your soul
An always changing windowpane

Everyone deserves to be loved, even if they can't find it in them to love themselves or anyone else for that matter.

Very good. I also believe mirrors have that same affect; to twist your self image, to belittle yourself. I wrote a poem on the same topic and it'd be cool if you'd give it a look and told me what you thought.
