life is a mirror
December 7, 2016
life is a mirror
gleaming jewels encrusted on one side,
its crystal mirror reflects lush fruit growing on
golden trees,
i see
laughing,
there is endless joy.
life is a mirror,
red rust encrusted on one side,
it’s broken mirror reflects a barren wasteland with
dead trees,
i hear
weeping,
there is eternal sadness.
life is a mirror,
and i,
struggle to look at only
one
side.

This piece was inspired by the good and bad of life. We all have our ups and downs; it is extremely easy for a peaceful day to turn into a disastrous. For every good thing we experience, we experience a bad thing as well. This piece also highlights my old struggle to understand this type of neuturality, and to accept that life has both good and bad.
