Mirror of
Imperfection
A doorway to destruction
Woven by the masters of deception
We are seduced
Never to learn from our mistakes
Let our profits go to waste
In the pursuit of admiration, as we flirt with the enemy
Exaggeration is so plentiful
Reaching those with strong souls, frail hearts
Everywhere they keep the score
Of those who are broken
In the search for beauty, for grace
She stands in a room full of strangers
Afraid of looking into her mirror
It likes to lie to her
The illusion of false security
Toys with her mind in the shadows
Reincarnated with an airbrush,
Another’s teeth dazzle like a melting igloo
The love gone from her eyes,
She is converted to a piece of plastic
But looks fade, like all good things
And, hollow hearted, she falls out of style
Never seeming to know her worth,
Lost in her need for perfection,
Tainted by the blackened world.
