Mirror on the wall

entry picture

 

Mirror, mirror on the wall

Exactly what is your role?

My appearance is all I see

You keep staring at me;

 

Oh, mirror tell me why

Can't show who I am inside

Help me if you can

And try to lead a hand;

 

Mirror you're just a lie

I ask questions, never got a reply

So sick of this deceit

The way you've tried to cheat;

 

For you, mirror, I have a deal

I don't think you're real

It's time to let you fall

No more mirrors on my wall.

Very innovative way of expressing the search for one's personal identity. It's a tried and true metaphor that never loses its attraction for fresh writers.

I used to work in a mirror making factory, so i would be knackered writing a poem like this, but I like the beat behind this - reminds me off some of my stuff, and I like the twist at the end in particular
