I stand before a mirror
that should cast a reflection
of myself
only to show the back of me
or the back of someone else
Is the mirror the one which
plays the trick
by eliminating
your view
the mouth the brow the nose
perhaps
it’s just your thoughts
deceiving you
for what we sometimes look at
is not always as it seems
black tailored suit
raven hair cut short
and wavy at the
back but can I tell
you something that you may be
surprised to hear
what isn’t shown encompassed
within
the frame you see
are the secrets I have lived
with the guilt
the shame
throughout the years
yet this is the way that
I am perceived
how I’m looked
at every day but there is
so much more to me
I’m not called John but Fay
For
I found this one really difficult – and welcome critique. Thank you.
