My Mirror
One morning I took a mirror
Looked into it to see my face
It fell down breaking into pieces
each piece was a mirror for me.
I looked into each piece
each one was different
One showed a cheerful face,
One a sad,one a dejected one,
one a depressed, one a frustrated o
one an anxious one,a curious one.
One a sickly indeed,a desperate one.
How many faces do I have, I thought
Perhaps a thousand and more
like the scattered remnants
of a dream seen forlorn and forgotten.
