Mirror mirror on the floor

Who is that man at the door

Is that me?

With a bright demeanor and eyes of topaz?

Dutiful, diligent

A genuine smile, nothing lacked


Mirror mirror cracked and shattered

What do you mean it doesn’t matter?

Is that me?

Dull eyes and duller tone

Deaf to others and completely alone


How about him?

Laughing with friends, and glaring at their backs

He turns around, they glare right back.

To him

The moon in the water is the moon in the sky


What about him?  

Black and blue, working so hard and giving his all

Not backing down and standing so tall

The belt of responsibility strikes

Again

Again


A kaleidoscope of personalities

Reflect and refracting different ways to act

Mirror mirror on the wall

Which one is me, or am I all?
