The Mirror Image!!



She looked at herself in the mirror
Took a closer look for vision clearer

She looked exactly the same like before
Her eyes shined, did not sparkle anymore

She still looked very lovely and lively
But she was dead inside, could hide wisely

Years had rolled by, she was frozen in time
She giggled with no reason or rhyme

She still laughed with all her heart
It was hollow and tore her apart

Had she learnt the art of being pretentious
Her efforts  be considered tremendous?

Beautifully she evaded the prying glances
Presenting  perfectly leaving no chances

She considered it to be her ultimate victory
Her life twould forever  be a mystery
