Mirrors

by gorexbxby

Have you ever looked into a mirror? Of course you have, we all have at some point; but have you ever really looked, deep inside? Like a vortex it will suck you in and you will become committed to picking out each flaw of yourself, as if you were to blow away the delicate petals of a dandelion; one at a time. Honestly and truthfully, do not lie, we would all like to be cynical and selfish, to love ourselves would be one of the greatest pleasures, but mirrors; they are hazardous, distorting our true image until we no longer have anything left to pick out. Yet we still insist on persecuting ourselves? Maybe it is we who distort our own image.

Notes

I wrote this whilst every so often looking up into a mirror, examining myself and my soul until I was content with this piece of writing.
