When you look into the mirror

Do you ever question what stares back?

Sure, the reflection is you

But what does it lack?

 

Do you notice it’s hair

Grey, scattered, or gone?

Or it’s face

Tired, broken, or sallow-drawn

 

When you look into the mirror

Do you notice anything deeper?

Far beyond the surface

Of the facial features?

 

Do you notice it’s visions

Of a life, dreamed but dead?

How about it’s regrets

Of words never said?

 

Do you notice it’s wants

Of health, comfort and peace?

Or even it’s fears

Of insecurities that never quite cease

 

When you look in the mirror,

Look at what stares back

Understand it well

For you two are forever a pack
