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
