.:Mirror, Mirror:.
here she is
waiting to dog me out; my mirror
such a bitch; propped
alongside a bitter light
she’s always right
to say the least
call her the honest beast
again,
her reflection
she’s throwing it at me
::she is::
clearly; my
smooth glimpse of clarity
my vanity is what she wants
whole being including those rabid bits of pain
what I can and can’t claim, yet
all there for us to see
::is she::
has she become
what I do and don’t see
a myriad of micro mirrors mirroring me
providing the allure, the proof
placing me in and out of my sanity
while my reality remains the same and
what I see is...what it is
::parody
another likeness;
in turn the same light catches us
all from amongst a variety that
my mirror will always choose to forgive
those dogged out reflections
smirking through glass
trying to live

thanks for the look
far as mirrored reflections, consider this
they're only illusions at best, an ego's odyssey at their worst
being blind or sightless, unable to see one's reflection, that's the real deal. I mean that's what we do, while breathing we spend most of our time, our living moments asleep, NOT looking at anything which'll be the same in
in its very next moment
how's that for an observation?
; )

Agreed
Now too much too observe to the next moment
We're better off asleep lol...
Better yet alcohol induce observation haha

hahaha... pick your own poison I suppose
but whether sound asleep or
wide awake
it's always best to be
deftly
conscious
