As I gaze upon the mirror
I see a reflection of lies
Who is this person
Aged and flawed
No longer the girl I once was
Youthful and glowing
I gaze upon this self
And wonder where have I gone
This cannot be me
Who is this staring back
Has the time flown so quickly
Half my life passed by
In this mirror of lies
I close my eyes
Hoping the outcome will change
With much dismay
I gaze at the reflection
The image remained the same
I fear this mirrors’ deceit
Will only worsen as the years go by
Aging me more and more
As the clock ticks on
I realize the mirror of lies
Is telling the truth

Damn that mirror! I have the same one, and it can be so cruel. Wonderful work expressing these emotions to clearly :)
