"She smiles back
She cries back
As I make face in front of her
A reflective surface
Where light does not pass through
But bounces off of
And producing ME-image

Thin layer of silver nitrate
Or aluminium
Behind a flat piece of glass
It can reflect my epidermis
And my face's real complexion
And flaws and imperfections
But not the secret person

When photons —
Coming from my smiling face
Strike this smooth reflective surface
Photons bounce back at the same angle

When photons —
Coming from my shedding tears
Strike this smooth reflective surface
Photons bounce back at the same angle

My eyes see these reflected ray of light
My eyes cannot deny
The mirror image is reversed
Which I can easily see
If I stand in front of it
With my statement shirt on
The words on it appears
sdrawkcaB || Backwards

And this ...
This very image in front of me
That I'm always looking at
That I think defines me
Is not what others see
People don't see me in reverse
And I see myself differently"
