Facsimile of illusions
shown as
reflections in
a mirror
revealing hidden images
known only
to ourselves and
not others
as transparency
shows nothing
kept
secret
who you really
are is
trapped inside
the mirror

We might hide many things from others.. But when we look through the Mirror we cannot hide from our inner self..

A fascinating reflection on the self.
It’s a strange thing to look too long at oneself in the mirror – I find the self becomes less recognizable

I so agree and too many people are caught up in the reflection and not what really lies beneath. I am quite happy not to look, myself.

How we view ourselves or wish to be viewed by others and how others see us can be very different indeed. Thank you!
