The mirror's image
Distorted by my psyche.
My mind is playing tricks
Creating images I don't like.

What is a reflection;
a mirage
and what is fake;
an homage

What is sight, but a creation.
What is true: an abomination?
Is this real, or imagination?
For that we can never truly show appreciation.

The mirror's image
Distorted by my mind.
What is real, and what is fake?
From this, we are blind.
