Mirror

Mirror Why do you look at me with disappointed eyes? Your face mangled with disgust my face you despise. Words you use like poisonous darts to pierce my skin You would like to go deeper to the heart of it within I look back at you with the same disappointment I received My face mangled with disgust your face looks deceived Every morning before I go to work I see your pitiful face As I look in the mirror you seem to fill all my empty space Profanity I spew at you which you give back in return Just leave me alone it’s my life is and none of your concern! I look deep into the image I see in the mirror’s reflection And the image I see is not a stranger but my own deception
