Pose
What does one see? When they look into the minds eye
Is it your reflection? Framed by a mirror of black
Does your reflection frighten you? For it shows the true self
Look at that reflection Let its image move through your mind
Like a cats eye marble Let it roll freely
Blurring the image Now does it resemble "you”?
Or is it just more distorted Than your true self
For that is what the world sees That distortion you apply
That’s your mask Your pose
But one day you will stop posing And your true self revealed
Then who will you be?

you really captured that one lol i used to be afraid of my reflection for that very reason. actually, i have a small silver mirror, it's very old and just about the size of one's hand, and it always seems to show that hidden side of me, more so than other mirrors. i used to be terrified of that mirror, but now ... i rather like it. it let's me see what's really going on under the 'pose' ^-^ and as i'm only now finding out, it's not always unhappiness. i use it in rituals sometimes, esp ones that have to do with the self.
