When You Look in The Mirror.
When You Look In the
Mirror.
Do You See What
You Are
Or
Do You See
What You Were.

Your words reflect the timeless dance between past and present—deeply moving. A mirror indeed reveals more than the eye can see.
Thank you, very much appreciated
A most reflective write Tobani lol Never the less it has always bothered me that I see neither in that the image is changed left to right and I suppose that fraction of milli-milli second that it takes for the light to get from the mirror to my eye it is what I used to be. Always loved thought provoking poems and this was one cleverly done.
Thank you, very much appreciated
An important and fundamental question for all of us. Well done
Thank you, very much appreciated
And imagine what we are becoming as well! 🙏🏻🕊️
Thank you, very much appreciated
You are most welcome🙏🏻🕊️
Very good question
Thank you, enjoy the rest of your day
NO. Yes. Yes and No. Both/and, as well as neither, depending. My self-esteem and self-image has been a struggle for me all of my life. Powerful and probing poem that asks a tough, but important question. Wonderful job, my friend. 🌹👏
Thank you, enjoy the rest of your day
Thanks. You too!
Good poem . I think mirrors can be difficult to look into sometimes
I think they can show us how we might be feeling / what we don’t like etc
Sometimes I see a stranger in the mirror ..
Thank you for your kind words, very much appreciated, enjoy the rest of your day
You see the reverse of how others see you Tobani. LOL
Andy
Quite possibly, enjoy your weekend
Nicely done. A fine, thought-provoking write.
Thank you, have a lovely weekend
Profound question - thanks for sharing
Thank you, have a good weekend
I wonder. I only took selfies because I liked what I saw in the mirror, however the camera had different notions. Sometimes I wonder how on earth I ever thought I was attractive since it obviously is painfully false. Beautifully rendered conundrum with a haunting poignancy and excellent imagery. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for your feedback, we are all attractive and beautiful in our own way, enjoy the rest of your day
very pertinent question - the past has shaped me into what i am today - so what i see is what i have become
Thank you for your feedback, much appreciated
always welcome - have a good day
You Too
This actually hit me deep, loved it, it's melancholy because sometimes you miss the person who you used to be and kind of hate the present self but amidst it all, you can always grow and improve...
Thank you for your feedback, have a great weekend
This is such a beautiful poem, no words wasted
Thank you for your kind words, very much appreciated
