Looking In The Mirror Poem by Aqua Flower

Looking In The Mirror

Rating: 5.0


I look in the mirror once
I look in the mirror twice
sometimes I see ugly
but sometimes I see nice
I'm so confused
could it be that my eyes deceive
or could it be what I want to believe
my mind is always tricking me
I see a closed door...... but wait
another one is an open gate
Will it ever be revealed
what is the truth and what is real
will I ever be able to tell
the difference between real and just a spell
the mirror often lies
and I keep wondering why

The decent mirror won't lie, and it's heart that does - to me this makes sense ;) Human mood swings.
