A Mirror

What it can teach us

A mirror doesn’t choose

It has nothing to lose

Not one to hoard reflections

Or suggest corrections

A simple mandate

Always a blank slate

Facing without fear

Whatever comes near

Thousands of faces

Leave no traces

Adulation or scorn

Nothing’s ever worn

As if a living master

With every answer

A mirror’s always true

Never old, always new
