Reflection


 
Appealing as a rose  
but am a Trojan horse
Deceptive by nature  
Please beware of rapture....
 
As the sun wakes  
it strikes unapologetically on
my glassy face  
"Light always wins" it says  
And I echo its rays  
in every direction....
 
You stare obsessively at your reflected face
that I project;
Your eyes that twinkle as stars  
Your smile that's straight from Mars  
And your skin that's smooth as silk  
 
But frankly
Perfections that i project  
Create intrenal imperfections
 
Your ego slowly consumes your core
like a meadow set ablaze
Burning all life it inhabits....
 
But what do I know....  
Am just a mirror
