Mirror Reflections

“In order for there to be a mirror of the world, it is necessary that the world have a form.”

William

“The Name Of The Rose”

Umberto Eco

I am sorry to
The mirror
That sees
My reflection
Of self loathing

Either behind
The glass or
The projection
Of and onto another
Human being

That catches
The black shadows
Emanating from
My dark and
Damaged soul

“All puffed up with vanity
We see what we want to see
To the beautiful and the wise
The mirror always lies

//

Girls and boys together
See what it is we lack
Boys and girls together
Let’s paint the mirror black”

Paint it black

– Rush

“I’m starting with the man in the mirror
I’m asking him to change his ways
And no message could’ve been any clearer
If they wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at (my)self and then make a change”

– Michael Jackson

“I write to exculpate the darkness so
That someday light may shine through”
