Fake Mirror

Never trust a mirror
For a mirror always lies
It makes you think
All your worth
Which is visible on the outside
Never trust a mirror
It only shows you
What's skin deep
You can't see your eyelids flutter
When you are drifting off to sleep
It doesn't show you
What the world sees
When you are only being you
Or how your eyes just light up
When you are loving what you do
It doesn't capture
When you are smiling
Where no one else can see
And your reflection cannot tell you
What a self means to me
Never trust a mirror
For it only shows your skin
And if you think it dictates
Your worth
It's time to look within
