My mirror still lies

by shrey maheshwari   Aug 21, 2008


Whenever and where ever i see a mirror,
i am always filled with terror,
thinking what face will be shown to me today,
as there are many roles that i have played,
but to my surprise, i don't know why,
this mirror of mine always lie,
it never shows me my original face,
the face which is full of sorrow and disgrace,
it never shows me the state that i have become,
never shows the pitfalls to which i have succumbed,
i still don't know why,
this mirror of mine always lie.

and now everyday i pray to god,
that tell this mirror to speak truth my lord,
as i am tired of faking things,
as i am tired of these internal stings,
as i am tired of this faking smile,
and now please at least for a while,
i want to see, what i have become,
i want to know the pitfalls to which i have succumbed,
but even after praying i don't know why,
this mirror of mine always lie.

just wait just think again,
and forget for a while, the pain,
as it might be god's way to change me,
so my inner beauty i can see,
to tell me that i can still me what i was,
to tell me that i can still be the normal mass,
these were the words which came from my soul,
after which i think i will change as a whole,
and that i will now fake the things,
and won't be bothered by the internal stings,

but it seems it's not an easy thing,
with a sore throat to beautifully sing,
so till then my dear god,
i again pray to u my lord,
that let my mirror don't lie,
at least till the day i change or die,

it's long and long time since i prayed,
it's long and long time that i have stayed,
but to my surprise, i don't know why,
this mirror of my still lie.....this mirror of my still lie....

    Your poem was perfect in so many ways... the meaning was full of sadness and intense emotion. I also look to the mirror seeking my true character yet only find my reflection, though we never see whats behind the mask. You have captured the true feeling of wanting to find whats behind the mask so we can present it to the world....great job this is very inspiring. 5/5

    The concept of the poem is very good. It seems the poem came straight from your heart. You've expressed a lot of emotions. Genuine feelings are there. But the structure of the poem could have been better. Overall it's good.
