The person in the mirror

You think you know me well.
You are wrong, I am afraid.
Trying to read a person like a book,
Is an undesirable human trait.

To assume anything from my exterior,
Would be a grave folly.
This simple approach fails completely,
With yours truly.

Forget about me, let's talk about you.
Are you familiar with your every terror?
Do you really think you know all about the person,
Who looks back at you in the mirror?

  1. I wish I knew the person who looks back at me in the mirror. Am afraid... she's afraid I'll read her face like a book and so does not see me in the eye.

    So I try my hands at reading others. :) That is much less challenging and more easy on my conscience.
