The Mirror Answered
I talk to it
It never answers back
but it looks me up and down
It knows my every thought
Its mouth moves in time to mine
Including showing me the fears
That matches mine
I clean the dirt away
And he does too
Both sides now the same
Now our gestures are so clear
But when I walk away
I know he will return
Because I know the truth

Nice little piece reflecting the readers own insecurities back while still revealing vulnerability as a writer,
You leave the reader room to project their own failing into the mirror, it’s a clever tool
I have read that in some ptsd cases your own reflection can appear augmented In the mirror as if your mind is twisting up your own self Image to reflect your internal struggles
Deftly handled for such a dark subject.
