Mirror

FredPeyer

What is it that you see

When looking into the mirror

Are you filled with glee

Or starkly grabbed by terror

Does the face looking back

Make you feel good

Trigger a heart attack

Or look like it should

Do you see who you are

Or who you would like to be

Do you feel rather bizarre

Or happy and free

The mirror takes no side

Is just reflecting light

There is no place to hide

There is no wrong or right

 

No matter what the mirror shows

You’re the king without any cloths

    • Michael Edwards

      Turn the mirror round - you never look so old from behind. Love the write.

    • Poetic Dan

      Perfectly done!
      Memories of the man I was
      Looking at someone else
      Now I truly see myself
      Free from my own self-hate

    • P.H.Rose

      This is another really
      Good poem Fred
      It discribes me to a tee

    • Goldfinch60

      Good write but always remember person you see in the mirror is not how people see you.
