Mirror.

Stand before the mirror,
Fingertips to glass,
Watch distorted images,
Intention: to harass.
Sometimes telling truly,
Sometimes lies of spite,
Throwing my reflection,
Into a new light.
Twisting once-there features,
Enemies, it and I,
Never looking too far,
Afraid what I might spy.
Cruel, twisted mirror,
Mirror goading me,
I look into the mirror:
Is that really me I see?

Deceptive Mirror.

Gaze into the mirror, Lock gaze with your own eyes, See them widen/shallow breathing, Signs of your surprise.

Dancing, prancing Playing tricks The Devil inside Is a nasty mix Poking, prodding Making fun As mad as men In the mid-day sun Don't mean to hurt Or make you cry Just a voice Deep inside.
