Mirror World

Who can you trust in a mirror world?
A mirror is cold and cool to the touch
A lining of silver to reflect ones self
A world where anyone does anything for wealth.

A mirror is a mirage of beauty and vanity,
Superficial wants, and mundane insanity.
This world is a mirror that reflects brainwashed minds.
We have no individuality, and conform to “mankind”.

A mirror is thin and shallow
It reflects your appearance in surface value
This world has no depth, nor emotion
This mirror of our mind, controlling our notion.

Can you ever tell know if someone truly loves you?
Can you ever know how someone really feels?
Can you ever truly understand someone else?
Can you ever really trust in this mirror world?
