8 Mirrors

Inspired when I stood there just watching myself (?). 8 mirrors surrounded me. And I wondered...

8 Mirrors

I stood
And they stood
In line
Surrounding, facing
Infinite similarities

Examining, exposing
Defects and imperfections
At all angles
And it repeats, repeats
For all to see

Speeches in this room
Just echoes
They know
What I’m about to say
Is of insignificance

Are they me?
These familiar strangers
Just carbon copies?
Only mockeries?
Am I me?

Break free!
Break the mirrors!
Away from this curse
Make myself
Anew once again!

Leave the shards
Just to see a bit
Of what’s left behind
History…
Repeats, over and over
