Reality of life

When we stare at the mirror 

Is it the reflection of our reality?

Or is it the curtains of their design?

Is it the similarity in our diversity?

Or is it the diversity in our similarities?

Is this the life we choose to live?

Or is this the life we were taught to live?

Are we influencing society?

Or are we influenced by society?

Do we shape our destiny?

Or is our destiny shaped for us?

These are the questions of an innocent child 

To peek through the lenses and understand the reality of life.
