The other image <br />The mind prefers to have <br />The faithful reflection <br />The face forgets to keep <br />The lie detector <br />The memory slips to avoid <br />The self trap <br />The icon replicates to double <br />The duplicate copy <br />The mask pretends to imitate <br />The identity cage <br />The role shuns to hold <br />The innumerable metaphors <br />To confine the truth.<br /><br />Mubeen Sadhika<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-mirror-47/
