Mirror Side Poem by Justin Baker

Mirror Side

Rating: 5.0


What says a reflection,
to this portrait of skin.
Each grains lying response,
yeilding what would rather not be seen.
What does a face look like,
to the soul underneath.
What does a mouth do,
to speak what's inside.
It's a piteous picture,
we paint for ourselves,
the colors, artificial,
and the feeling, a lie.
