As I watch my self in the mirror <br />I am fully aware <br />Of the cool blank eyes <br />That at me stare <br />For these eyes don’t cry <br />But they very well know <br />Mirrors don’t lie <br /> <br />As I watch in horror <br />My face labeled with every sin <br />I cry in despair <br />As the realization sinks in <br />I know that my soul has now given in <br />But the fact my heart denies <br />That mirrors don’t tell lies <br /> <br />How can every sin <br />Find a way in my soul <br />How can every day <br />Turn as black as coal <br />I find the answers <br />As I look at me <br />My eyes defy <br />But my heart knows the reality <br />That even if I defy <br />Who can say mirrors lie? <br /> <br />Then I knew that it’s too late <br />I walk in tunnel <br />accepting fate <br />I know the light has gone out <br />As I have gone astray <br />And now looking in the mirror <br />I see the scars <br />The mask of falsehood <br />Is behind bars <br />I now have a battered soul <br />Which still defies <br />And says <br />Mirrors do please tell lies<br /><br />tajwer khan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/mirrors-don-t-lie-4/
