Write a poem where the central theme is reflection.

Reflection As Distortion

Reflection is an image in a mirror It’s something seen through a distorted lens It isn’t the truth; you can’t really here her Fear surges realizing there are no amends We can pretend but in the end it’s over Never sober your home is here but suspended Your life, that’s right, you give up and cry But why? The memories your mind makes? Their fake! Trust a mistake in this game of lies Try to realize there is no prize not even a cake So stay baked but don’t shake the disguise It’s unwise to reconcile your minds eye awake Retreat, feel free to take a seat and wait As your fate relates to the ultimate projection Connection causes happiness - no debate Escape is impossible; truth guides direction Correction there is no truth only distorted hate In slates and sections - that’s reflection
