A Mirror When standing in a mirror what do you see? Is it really a reflection? Or an image of what you could be. A mirror can be a place to view growth towards perfection. Yet it is a destination to hide what society is neglecting, And implies further to cover ones natural beauty. Caking their philosophy with the media's opinions as far as one could hear or decree. Being real with acquaintances without being real with the important people like family. One could say a mirror is "just only a reflection" However, let's ask the mirror "Today show me what he or she has projected." A mirror would show a life full of authenticity Yet a life very different could also be shown, one filled with hypocrisy. So I ask again when standing in a mirror what do you see? The answer is quite simple and easy to believe A mirror is expected to only show what it sees The real me...Or a fantasy...
