Challenge
When you look in the mirror, what do you see?
Any format
Reflections
The mirror
Oh, the mirror
Such an innocuous thing
A piece of glass that reflects what's in front of it
Do I look good? I can't tell
Do I look bad? I don't like what I see
I see flaws
Imperfections
Where did that blotch come from?
Why am I so round all of a sudden?
This thing must be warped
Perfect, a pimple. Aren't I too old for such things
I see what I am today
I see what I used to be
My, how the body changes
I see where I'm headed
God! the crows feet
Reflections of the physical, past, present and future
Damn thing is a time machine
Unyielding in its honesty
A truth teller to a fault
Please lie to me, I won't mind
Now it's mocking me
I should just walk away
Remove myself from its gaze
But there it is
And there I am
All in this sheet of glass
That makes me see, me
