Deceptive Mirrors Poem by indira babbellapati

How long z that
When I last took
A look at myself
In the mirror?
Not that I did it often
As I grew into adulthood
There have been people
To tell me what I look like
And I went by their words
Today I'm afraid,
All those words
Didn't really suffice
What this being wrapped
In this skin really is
No longer do I harbour
Any more illusions of
What I'm today, NOW
Yet I'm scared of mirrors
What if they lied to me
To pull me into another trap...
