Why do we seek the image in the mirror, then trust what we see in its frame, the self gratification of the soul, the ugliness of the truth it hides, reflections of the things that we hide, seeing through others eyes, the belief in systems of lies, throw the veil over all that we are, taking refuge in the shadows it casts, hidden by the pain that we fear, imprisoned by the words that we hear, take solace in what you see inside, trust in the world contained within.
