Mirror, Lie To Me

I stare at my mirror So shocked by what I see There is a strange woman Staring right back at me I must’ve been abducted This must be a crazy trick For the reflection that I see Is making me quite sick Are those horrid wrinkles? Is that a double chin? The neck that was my joy Is pillar like- not thin! My eyes have no sparkle They look listless and glazed It gets so hard to focus When all I feel is dazed Maybe it’s just a dream From which I will awake For how could that be me? I’m sure it’s just a fake I pinch myself real hard The mirror woman screams Oh no, it must be true Now both of us cry streams Mirror, you’re a traitor!!! Mirror, this is a crime!!! I order you to hide!!! The tell-tale signs of time!!! Do me a small favor Tell me a little lie Reflect a younger me… Oh please, give it a try! Eileen Manassian Dear Soupers....Thought I'd share with you something exciting that's happening in my life at the moment. I'm on YouTube as the host of a program entitled, Rhymes of the Times. I share my love for poetry and my poems from Poetry Soup. I've started with my most viewed poems. I have four episodes up, and I thought I'd share the third one with you. Tomorrow, I will have The Paradox of Love up. Hope you enjoy these simple programs. The Channel name is Eileen Manassian. Hugs.
