Mirror
Such a simple word,
But with depth
Like the ocean.
People look
And see themselves.
Others think differently.
Some think that other people
Are a reflection of another.
Fathers and mothers
Looking at their children
Seeing only one and not the other.
Comparing and not accepting them.
My parents see me
As a mirror of my brother and sister.
Waiting to see
If I make a mistake,
But an achievement to me.
Reflections are all they see,
Not something different.
Mirrors
Are hurtful.
