A Mirror With Two Sides

Is one side uglier than the other?

At the begging of the journey,

she had everything.

Youth, beauty, love, sincerity, trust.

The face of the girl in the mirror saw promise,

So she tied all those flowers of her essence

in a garland and put them around his face on the other side of the mirror.

Time passed, youth and beauty weathered away on her side of the mirror.

The look on his side changed color, so did his soul.

In the beginning, she had everything, but he was empty-handed,

but she embraced him.

Time passed, and she lost everything she once possessed.

The face in the mirror gained power, ego, and riches

, and he walked away…..
