Yes, I shine magnificently
but do not be fooled friends
for that is the shine of
the broken mirror I wear
upon my face, my mask
reflecting
only what you want to see

I have become living art.

Well don't think you're the only one.
There's a host of broken mirrors out there but I thought this was a superb way to describe the honesty of self examination..
Be a shame in many ways if we were all the same work of living art.....No fun there....smile...

Broken mirrors can be, especially in this so-called modern age, be repaired. All it takes is time, patience, and love's super glue.

One could be flip and say, Come on now, there's always been a lot of posing on the Internet, even in the pre-visuals days. Doesn't mean it's desirable, it just is that way recently. With so many actors, sometimes you gotta dance, but that doesn't mean you can't pick good music.

A well-put poem and lots more succinct than this rambling reply...

I thought I had replied to this, Trina. It is beautiful, sensitive and honest. Thank you for trusting us and opening up your inner feelings.

Rina, we all wear the masks, some of us better than others, but we all do. I try not to hide my masks, trying for the what-you-see-is-what-you-get. If we allow our masks to become us it can be a problem. I haven't see you around here or Facebook for a while. Hang in there, okay? Write if you need to.
