Reflection

What do you see when you look into the mirror

Is it really a reflection of yourself

or is it something deeper

that your eyes won't allow you to see

Is your mind playing tricks on you

Creating an illusion of beauty

Letting your eyes decieve you

To satify your soul

What do you see when you look into the mirror

that you don't see beneath the skin

Why do you let the past age you

To the point where make-up doesn't work

Will you go so far that you shield your face from the light

Forgetting what was a bright star that shinned like the sun

Once before a creation of God....
