Self Deception

Gliding past the mirror, the visage of sophisticated sensuality, tall with head turning legs that stretch to heaven, dark and tan, little black dress, tastefully shrink wrapped about hips and breasts, stiletto heals, black patent, defining calves and thighs with each step, but her smiling red lips can't hide the tear in her questioning eyes, “Who am I?”

Lovely verse, James,and the sexy imagery... "Who am I?" is a question some of ask ourselves; who is in the mirror might be the person that is inside her.. Hugs Eve

Hi Nette, I think she tries to be what she believes everyone wants her to be, but it is not necessarily what she wants.
