Reflections Of A Mirror Poem by Ambereen Vishram

I looked in the mirror
Hoping it would replicate
My real self
But all it revealed
Was The confident girl
Hidden behind fears and insecurities
It refused to show the misery
Hidden behind the forged grin
It showed the luminous eyes
Not the dreams that lied unfulfilled
It showed the long legs
But not their weariness
It showed the hands that rendered help
But not its eagerness to be lovingly held
Whoever said mirrors don't deceive?
They to in the bogus reflections believed
