Mirror, Mirror
You think it's funny
to poke out your tongue
and show me your tooth paste smothered tongue,
You look closely
at pale skin
and pop your zit,
Some of you - usually
the ones with longer hair,
Spend forever
Colouring in your lips,
making black lines
on eyebrows
and brushing
perming, brushing.
I hear you practice
the lie
you will tell Mum,
trying to see if,
by looking at me,
you can keep a straight face,
As I reflect on humans
I realise
sometimes your face mirrors your heart
hesitant smile, creasing frown, lip pout,
other times your face lies,
covering the feelings.
But I always tell the truth,
showing you for what you are.
