Mirrors are Talented Liars
Me, myself, and I
A peculiar type
Accepting the fact
That whatever's inside
My deluded head
Is actually a creature instead
So when I see
My stupid reflection
I know it's not
What should be reflected
Now stop believing
That what you see
Is a mirror image of me
This is the truth
I've come to rely
My saving grace
Is a fucking lie
A peculiar type
Accepting the fact
That whatever's inside
My deluded head
Is actually a creature instead
So when I see
My stupid reflection
I know it's not
What should be reflected
Now stop believing
That what you see
Is a mirror image of me
This is the truth
I've come to rely
My saving grace
Is a fucking lie

Fairy, amen to this. What we see in mirrors reflected is a construct subject to broad interpretation. One day I see handsome me and the next fat me etc. Better that we see the permanent beauty inside rather than the false reflection. Brava! I enjoyed reading this piece.

Traveling.. raw and powerful.. mirrors, are talented liars.. there are many layers to a person.. most are way deeper, than what we see as face value.. much respect..

People are like jawbreakers, they have many layers... Some sweet, others sour... Thank you Dave for your kinds words!
