The Mirror

By Aryan Jhunjhunwala

What can echo your reality around,

Reflect everything that surrounds,

Recrate everything that is near,

It is the little mirror.

A place where you can see yourself,

Covered with guilt or needy for help,

Or bearing the prettiest smile,

And living the best moments of life.

No lies it bears at all,

What you seek may not befall,

But there is one thing it never hides,

The truth which lies inside.

You may fool the world and win,

And stand like you have committed no sin,

But once you face the mirror and look deep within you,

You would be bound to stoop.
