The Mirror
By R. Cary
Wavering inside this mirror against this image
Portraying my truth negating my journey
Of goodness, my belief of acceptance into ascension
That this mirror reversed of sorts
Reflects into towards my other self, the one I testify against
Desire to live myself against
The one I condone, the one I rebel against
Living in this mirror of self reversing my truth
Of pure goodness seeing myself giving me belief to ascend,
Accept that this mirror is me holding my nature of distorted
Perversion in my pursuits of courage and strength
Vanity in my disgust, betrayal of my most beholden values
Morality deceived, a consortium of self-restructured in this mirror,
As boundaries became blurred inception buried, my journey
Into darkness a truth of facing myself, oneself,
A truth of strength, maybe even tenacity
Facing myself in this mirror the truth to define
That in our self-perceptions can live a mirror
Of disguise or a mirror of truth,
As our perceptions rely on our willingness to accept
Flawed integrity is conditioned to our existence,
Given as truth in this mirror encouraging me
To rise, oppose against, fight towards myself,
Acceptance of perception defining me giving me courage
To no longer hide, as in this mirror is my truth to define
End
