Narcissus looked at himself in a lake. Why look at a mirror?
Anyways joke apart, the eyes are the mirror of the soul, it is said, what we see in others is our own reflection.
As someone who has struggled with body dysmorphia, mirrors have been unreliable–I saw a warped physical image of myself when I looked at a mirror. So, actually, the mirror was more accurately reflecting the truth.
Oh wow!!! okay

Great one Frank. Lots to contemplate here – perception versus reality. Or is reality just another perception? π

Hmmm. Sometimes we see what we want to see, regardless – we do not want to look. Still, our little blogs try to tell the truth. Thank you for this.

Nice poem, it has a bit of a philosophy behind it. What if we can’t trust mirrors to show our original selves? It makes you think.
