I looked at the mirror so much that I stopped recognizing myself.
The reflection of the reflection
locked in my eyes,
infinite sets.
Panic threatens
by the thousandths of a second.
If I lose control,
I might crawl away.
I suspect
the watchful step
of a spy
of myself.
I usually tame a golden beast;
its dark destiny rings out in unison.

The mysterious Golden Beast. Clever, thought provoking. Well Done.
Well, I'm very glad you enjoyed reading it and that you raised at least a few questions. Best regards, and thank you very much.
To me this conveys the thoughts of a self admirer. It's good to love oneself but too much of a good thing is still narcissistic right
Of course, I understand your point of view. Perhaps self-admiration made me realize, in its emptiness, that the reflection the mirror shows me isn't the totality of my being, but rather there's a counterpart flowing in the same way, somehow from the invisible. Thank you so much for stopping by to read and share your thoughts. Best regards.
Understand the feeling- it comes on us unawares
That is what the vertigo generates, nobody seems to realize! Thanks for reading and leaving your impression of the text. Greetings!
