wrong side of the mirror
a poem
hate them for who they are
the way they bruised and deeply scarred
for lowering the human bar
far
far down
.
hate them for all they say
the way they persuaded you to stay
hate them in each and every way
everyday
from now
.
hate them for your lack
of awareness as you look back
and blame them for you being off track
fact
without irony
.
hate them for being rude
hate them for their attitude
hate them for their ignorant views
hate them just because you choose
.
and who are you after all all that hate? can you honestly say loving, happy and great? have you had an enjoyable day? do you manage to find ‘love’ only as you prey?
it’s easy to love those who are kind. it’s easy to love those who relax your mind. it’s easy to love when you don’t have to find
it
.
but that’s not actually loving, is it? it’s you reflecting back what they are giving. it’s you returning their energy, which is actually the source of this synergy.
so if you are the mirror then they must be real, and you are but a reflection of how they feel. does that put you in control? to reflect what others choose to bestow?
choose is a strong word and actually incorrect. for the unconscious do not know how to direct. they act only from trauma’s aggregate as you ‘choose’ to reflect back their projected hate.
do you see a problem with this condition? with this endless cycle of ammunition? or do you hate because you see, that they are a mirror for you to call “me”?
there is no surer way to anger someone than by holding a mirror to their lack of compassion. do you feel triggered when asked to be kinder? does it evoke rage to be given this reminder?
the ego can’t stand to be something lesser, so it’s better to blame the apparent transgressor. push the blame far outside of view to keep up the illusion of a better you.
Did you ever stop to think this through, who’s the mirror?
Them or you?
