Reflections

Reflections
.
Is a mirror just a piece of glass
With a silver coating on the back
Then an added layer of red or brown
To reflect our image when we smile or frown.
.
I can look at you, but I cant see me
A mirror shows what my eyes dont see
To see my body, I glance at the place
But require a mirror to look at my face.
.
I need a mirror to look in my eyes
And look for the soul that lives inside
A soul thats plain for all to see
But without the mirror, not to me.
.
When I look in the mirror, what do I see
Is the image I see there, really me
Or just a trick of reflection and light
And the real me is hidden, out of sight.
.
Its hard to decide whats real and true
When you take a hard look, inside of you
But I feel I can say without doubt or fear
Its me in the mirror Im looking at here.
