Mirror

Fresh glass appears with the birth of soul,
Overtime new days equate inevitable traumas,
Glass darkens as the masses of evil pull
Its mind deeper into self-inflicted dramas

Stress applied to previously stained reflection
Dirties the glass as the image grows in distortion
Narcissistic Vanity views more defection,
The sight of the glass imparts the dejection

Nonexistent mold of a flawless glass prevails,
Simple fixation based on times brutal reality,
Wallow in the smudges on the glass only veils
Beauty of indelible wisdoms gained in actuality
