I have a laughing mirror,
When a wave of proud,
Far from the humble banks,
Attacks my body,
Attacks my soul,
Disturbs my balance,
I see my face,
In the laughing mirror.
I have a laughing mirror,
When ugliness of someone,
Shuts down my eyelids,
My soul is angry,
Warns and instructs,
Open your eyes,
And see your face,
In the laughing mirror.
Tears come out,
I am frustrated,
How I ugly I am!
How selfish I am!
And I am proud of myself!
Shame on me!
Someone whispers in ears,
You have a plane mirror too.
Thru the metaphor of mirror you have wonderfully portrayed the double standard which we do maintain in our society.Great job!
Until and unless we see and realize our own shortcomings, we rate ourselves superior to others and develop a kind of contempt for all! But once we are able to see ourselves in all nakedness, we come to know how foolish we have been! The bubble of our pride bursts then! It is nice that we look occasionally into the mirror and trace our blemishes! Very philosophical! Enjoyed!
We see what our minds present us to be, the reflection can be dirty or clear, don't be so hard on your self, what you see is a human being. That is what the plane mirror is, Great job with the closing
It's good to be able to laugh at ourselves with all our flaws the mirror can humble us and make us see the reality of who we are! Powerful write with great message!
Usually, our egos always keep us many steps above than the reality. There, the mirror plays it's role to tell us and show us where we stand actually. Very nice eye opener.
My mirror never pretend me. When I laugh he laughs when I weep he weeps. A true friend indeed. A nice concept.. Regards/
