The Mirror
I wake up one day and see a mirror
Did someone place it here?
I look into it and see the reflection
It has everything but a different person
I wonder whom would that be?
She answers I am you to be.
Curious, I ask how is it there?
Smiles and says, it is how it has been there.
Wonder, Isn't there going to be a change?
Smiles, Didn't you notice the change?
I didn't like the person standing in front of me
Anger, you never liked the person standing in front of me.
I turn away realizing that is me,
She is no more there unlike me.
This was the change I was blind to,
I think what is it that I didn't do.
Strange feeling in need of development,
Jumping on to the next step of attainment.
I see the mirror one more time,
She says you did well this time.
I see everything has changed, along with her
But there is no change in the stare.
It dawns, everything requires a transformation,
Except for the individualistic obligation.
When the world works on showing your bad reflection,
Alter your mind not the character to see a good reflection.
