The Mirror

There are two sides to a mirror, one reflects, one you see through or no image at all One tells lies, one tells the truth or one is a wall What do you see when you see you Can you look in your own eyes and know you are true Do you despise who you see Are you shocked and tell yourself this isn't me The facelift you had, does it help you look young The deep dark tan reveals too much sun The smile shows bright white teeth So much dental work, polish, rinse, repeat Your body is quite an upscale Measurements stolen from a vibrant young female You did zero work to get your looks Recipes taken from a plastic surgeon's cookbook As you look at the reflective side of the mirror, tell me what you see A real person or a plastic beauty Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy a size three dress
