“Mirror is my best friend, because when I cry, it never laughs.” – Sir Charles Chaplin
“Blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places where other people see nothing.” – Camille Pissarro
“If only our eyes saw souls instead of bodies how very different our ideals of beauty would be.” – author unknown
“People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in their true beauty is revealed only if there is light from within.”
-Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

Mirror, Mirror
I embark on a journey
To find out just who is this person
Buried inside my eyelids
The one who lurks in front of the bathroom mirror
As I blow-dry my hair each morning
She mimics my movements
While I brush my teeth and short reddish hair
Thank you Clariol
Or is she mocking me?
We share a wardrobe
It is debatable whom the clothes fit better
I prefer to think the mirror is the one
Telling the tall tales
A mirror should never be believed
If it were kinder
Perhaps I wouldn’t avoid its glare
