Mirroring

I am your mirror.

I am the image of everything around me.

Stand in front of me, and see yourself there.

I am the reflection of every one I meet, and every one I know;

Perhaps they do not like me because of the flaws I show.

Yet who stands in front of me the most?

Perhaps they like that I am exactly who they are. 

I smile when they smile, the exact same smile.

I laugh, I gesture, I cry the exact same way they do;

yet they do not love me, when I mirror you.

Deep. Reminds me of someone who has issues with them self.

This poem reminds me of mystic/sufi poetry which harbors the same idea as this poem holds. Great piece of art :)

The mirror show real face. I liked the thoughts leading to honest ending. Thank you Anna for sharing your amazing poetry.
