Interesting concept, that we, as humans, are mirrors, reflecting what people want us to be, rather than reflecting who we truly are. And the concept of the mirror seems so clever for this poem, for is it not a mirror we look into to ensure we are presentable to the outside world, all our personal emotions tucked away and hidden? We make sure to plant that smile and keep our true emotions hidden away. Very well written. Bravi.
Short and succinct; yet, your poem displays a multitude of meaning. As others have noted, everyone can relate to this poem. Sometimes, the fewer words written the better, for they are but a net for the river of emotions inbetween. Great job! Keep shining!
This is a very strong point that I think everyone can relate to. I know I can. I love the conflict of not being able or willing to show your true feelings. I think we all act through a 'mirror' at times. Good job!
