THE MIRROR
I thought I'm a tree that can make a forest
And a short soul in the form of the tallest
I thought I'm one of the great warriors
Until I looked deeply into my mirror.
What I saw there, drove me insane
Like a smoker that has lost his brain
For I saw a soul swimming in agony
And his heart dining with acrimony.
I saw him as the coward's king
That dreamt of wearing a golden ring
I saw his future flowing in blame
And his mouth singing song of shame.
My cleared sight started blurring
And my stomach started grumbling
For the face, I saw looked like mine
Standing like an oldie with a bent spine

Great story!
I have noticed that usually
people manage to see in their mirror reflection
the reverse of his personality!
I think it's a psychological effect
that leads you to find the transformation
of your being in the human inconformity that
we keep inside ...
