In The Mirror...

When you are looking in the mirror 

You are not looking at you.

It may be your look-a-like,

But it’s not you.

Your left becomes it’s right 

and your right becomes wrong,

It’s your life not for very long.

When you are looking in the mirror 

You are not looking at you.

It’s your image which misleads you.

See your face not your soul,

It’s your life not your goal.

When you are looking in the mirror 

You are not looking at you.

You may have lost some hair,

or became gray, not so fair.

Now, are you afraid of yourself?
