[mirror Self…] Poem by Empath In flames

I’m a mask within
my own reflection,
A poise of physical essence.
I stroke this glass imitate of me
in hope to feel the aptness.
When I stare into it’s eyes,
I connect to reality.
Well, so it seems…

Mirror self,
Do you see me, As I see you?

Mirror self…
Do you leave, When I do too?

Or do stay,
To change your reflection…
Are you the perfection in me?
Or just the image,
I choose to see….

In death will you see my face?
Or continue to live a life.
Morphing to fit the shapes.
Are you like a shadow…
That follows me through light.
Do you hide in the darkness
To shame the face of your
Relenting disgrace?

Mirror self,
Do you see me, As I see you?

Mirror self,
Do you leave, When I do too?

Or Do you stay,
To change your reflection
Are you the perfection in me?
Or just the image,
I choose to see…
