In the Mirror

Who do you see?
And to what degree?

The many different expression you experience,
the many sides you alone can see.

You see more of us then most of us would like,
as we move from pillar to post.

Is it who you see that counts?
Or who we are seeing?

Although you try to make the best of us,
some of us don't pass the test.

In many situations it works,
but for some who have been long forgotten,
It's a door to the past,
which is well to be overlooked.
