Perfect Reflection: inspired by Mirror Man- Ella Henderson


If you ever fall it is never for me,
Not for the person I wanted to be.
You have only seen me as an error,
And that's why you spend so much time in mirror.


If you ever asked me for the truth,
It is clear you only had loved for the things you do,
And I never wanted to be your reflection
Because perfection is only what you see in you.

It is good to love yourself,
But not the you in someone else.
Because if they ever fail to be you,
You will fail to pay them dividends.

I would often try you just to see,
If it is that hard to cease.
And I would always turn up empty,
Because you were always so hard to please.

Anti-social Networking


As I walked into the room I dropped my bag
Then... my hands in pocket of my pants
    
            "OMG I want to pee"

But yet I am sitting as if i am stuck in the settee
Then I finally found a way to fit that task in
I guess right now I will be multitasking
So I rose from the couch with my head still down
But there is no way I was letting my hand down
And I stepped in, but whilst switching on the light I intercept in...
The edge of the wall that's parallel to the door
As there was too much light in my face to even see the floor
Then after several tries to loose my pants
It was set free
But I had to take a second peep at what my dear friends had up their sleeves
Finally I got a glance
But still forgot to wash my hands

Now mom and pops was in bed
Not even realizing I was nearly dead
Though we were locked together all in a single space
Our minds had escaped into a separate place
Everybody was so busy networking
Then BAMM!!


         "Why isn't the net working? "


It was the first time that night mom had recognized the son
That she carried in her tummy all for nine months
And after nearly thirty years of marriage
Dad finally decides to mother to Madrid
But neither did I see
That dad bought himself a brand new SUV
Snap! Snap!


          "As soon as the net is back I am uploading these snapshots to Snapchat"


But only if I had taken a keen look
Daddy had already uploaded them to Facebook
Once the net is back on
Everything in the house is spot on...
Spot on Insta... gramps was becoming a virtual minister
The closest thing we now have to a family dinner is a group chat
When we have something to say through Whatsapp
We don't quarrel, we don't fight
We usually just fall asleep networking at nights



While staying connected we lost that very touch
Of the cherishing moments that slid by us
And we wasted them
With every single picture we posted on Instagram
WiFi became our new addiction
Because this drug had no restrictions
