THE MIRROR OF SIN

29 Jan 2021

Looking in the mirror all i see, A ghost of an old wrinkled mans face looking back at me, Is this a warning, if a don't change this will become me, I swill my face with multiple splashes of water over my face, Then peeping through my hands I still see in the mirror the wrinkled old mans face I rub my eyes and only then does he fade away, But the vision of this old man in my thoughts will not go away, Its as strong today as when it first happened yesterday, I reflect on my past in every way, I come to the conclusion these visions are a reflection on my misdeeds from years grown old, I don't need reminding of my criminal past, I thought I had amended for my criminal sins and turned my life around, But mirrors reflect more than a physical human being Every wrinkle on that old mans face, Is a disgraceful scar of a sin I have done and take place Now I am an honest man I want them wrinkles to fade away one by one
