"REFLECTION"

I lurked on my reflection 

in the water of the pit,

my face had dirt

my leg had bruise. 

I stared on my reflection

in the mirror of the room,

my face had cream 

my mind had classroom.

I sneaked my reflection

in the glass of college canteen,

my cheek had pimples

my eyes had circles.

I looked at my reflection

in the pane of my car,

my hair had grey streak

my chin had stubble.

I dodged my reflection

in the lenses of my specs,

my forehead had worries

my teeth had holes.

I skipped my reflection

in the window of my mansion,

my hands had fortune

my hair had limp. 

I  got scared of my reflection

in the ECG of my bed,

my face had wrinkles

my nose had pipes. 

I bid farewell to my reflection

in the darkness of my death,

my spirit had escaped 

my body had rest.

Don't be proud,

don't feel privileged,

life has shade

your fortune will fade.

I will live with the reflection

in the words of my life,

my life will succumb

but my words will blaze.
