The Mirror and The Heart
the mirror reflects the person that stands in front it
not what that person is actually
then the person gets a false sense
of who they are
a mirror gives off emotions depending on look
and not depending on heart
but when you can get past that
you take off the mask and shine bright
revealing ones true self, not its appearance
then you look at the mirror again
still the same reflection of the outer view
the false view of the person standing in front of it
because ones true self is in their heart
