A Covered Mirror

There is a thin layer of dust covering my mirror but I must not clean it to make my vision clearer Like rust spots on an old car; that annoying adherer Some things just look worse when you get nearer

Great write, mirrors only show a glimpse of what's on the outside.

Wow this is deep Jenna, especially in an age where mobile phones can see every pore on one’s face, just ain’t natural to zoom in that close, so stand back a little everything looks better in normal light and distance, fantastic verse, cheers David

Some things are best left alone and only viewed from a distance. Nice writing, Junna. Hugs, John
