MirrorsA Poem by RukkyA mirror doesn't just reflect the physical nature of a person. It reflects the person behind the physical nature
Confined to these walls
guardians
surrounding my transparent figure
created to serve you i am
the eye that is not part of you you come to me blind, uncertain,
unknowledgeable
seeking to know beauty, ugly but
my sight surpasses that for i
was created not just to show how you look but
to show who you are I
show you that innerself you cannot see i
deny you, that which you claim to be and
show you that which you hide under the curtains i
reveal that man that claims to work for the law but
directs a gun at the innocent that
man that preaches justice for the oppressed but
shows no mercy to the depressed that
sister that exchanges her body for the currency but
acts like a saint in the service of chaplaincy That
brother that sings in the choir on sunday morning but
gets drowned in liquor on saturday evening that
acts as a giver but
is really a taker that
man that claims to be in heaven but
dines in hell i
reveal that family that claims to be
perfect in front of the cameras but
can't even see eye to eye behind closed doors
Though my talents are underestimated
my aim,
miscalculated and
my actions are unappreciated i
will never forget my duty, to
show you, your true self. © 2015 RukkyAuthor's Note
