The Mirror The mirror on my wall is a mystery to me. I gaze into it and what do I see? At times I can truly see another me. The person that no one else must ever see: The mirror's like magic,it doesn't only reflect, At times the mirror will also project. Yes! Project some other obscurity. An image from the past, this other me; The mirror depicted this other life, A dastardly deed inflicted upon me, A life kept hidden from my lovely wife. No-one, friends or family know of this but me. The mirror has me in a paranoid state; As it sits in a constant wait. This fear doesn't come from me. It's from the other me inside the mirror you see. Does the mirror really have a hold on me? If I get rid of it will I really be free? Maybe a new one, but no it might start again, If! I got rid of the other me, then I'd really be free. By John J.
