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
