The Mirror

THE MIRROR

 

Mirror mirror on the wall

Telling the truth to one and all

That smear, spec, spot, or hair

I cannot simply leave it there

And so reflected in your image clear

I get a glimpse of my hidden fear

And see for myself what others see

Instead of the filtered and edited me

So help me remember what I really saw

Mirror Mirror on the wall

For you will never tell a lie

As you cast my image before my eye

Every blemish, wrinkle, and spot revealed

Every secret, I thought I had concealed

The reflection of my human flaw

Stands inside the mirror on the wall
