Often, perfection is a reflection And you are looking into a mirror You might need to see clearer To realize you are staring At a glaring projection of you And not someone in front of you. Now you have something to do. You get to see if illusion Causes so much confusion You don’t know who is who And who is they and who is you. Sometimes, it’s not fun to do Because new doesn’t always mean Best, or wonderful or fun.
It reminds of the a certain elf Who fell in love with himself But he was looking in a mirror. A lady elf called to him, but He couldn’t hear her. He was listening to poetry Of love and praise of beauty And felt it was his duty To listen in total rapture Not realizing he was captured By the words he heard. He felt he had no choice. But it was his own voice. He was listening to himself. Silly elf.
So, if you work in Santa’s home And look rather like a gnome You might be excused When you get accused Of falling for your reflection. This is just a suggestion, But it seems it never misses, Just remember old Narcissus And don’t follow this whim. Don’t be like him and the lake Loving this reflection so thoroughly You lose touch with reality And make a conscious decision To fall for a warped vision.
