The Biased Mirror
The mirror image that I see
Is opposite two ways.
The guy that is in front of me,
Is me in senior days.
Its view reverses what I see,
Much like the way inside
That sometimes feels I will not be
With good thoughts I have tried.
Mirror, mirror show what's real
In images before
I turn away and try to heal
The past and much, much more!
