The Web Poetry Corner - Phil Pochurek - In the Mirror

In the Mirror

by

Phil Pochurek

In the mirror
There are no lies.
Behind the beard
Under the makeup
And through the eyes
All that is you is here,
Is there, in the mirror.
The childhood dreams
The adolescent ideals
The adult realities of today,
Are all there to be seen
In a world of reflection.
With every wrinkle, in every scar,
They tell us where we've been,who we are.
The way others see you
The way you see yourself
The way you really are, up close and personal.
At five o'clock in the morning,
Before work or after a party,
This is a warning, a reality check.
No holds barred.
A real ego blaster for the week of character.
The terminally vain.
Day after day, year after year
Your life goes on,
And it's all right there
In the mirror.
