“Objects in Mirror Are Closer Than They Appear”

“Objects in Mirror Are Closer Than They Appear”

The mirror reflects
your expression,
your smile or tears,
your distaste or happiness,
every imperfection,
back at you.
Always truthful,
this silver surface
is your best friend
and your worst enemy.

If broken,
bad luck ensues,
seven years of cursed karma,
unless counteracted by
a positive action
to fix the shattered pieces
of the sharp, broken,
truth-teller.

Under an outside influence,
a mirror can change
to be concave or convex,
bending the rays of light
in a direction of choice,
manipulating the reflection
to be smaller or larger
closer or farther,
all a trick of light,
to show what you want to see
or what you don’t.
Instead of the truth
of what actually is.
