Walled by the mirrors
Reflections hate each other
Tediousness creeps in
Feelings claustrophobic
Due to lack of air
Freshness of variety
Eyes feel dull
Absorbing the images
Oh! They are shrewd
Won’t allow anyone
To interpret-
Except for those reflections
Carefully attired
By the same ideologies
One addiction is enough
They speak too much
A comforting language
Of self-praise and hatred
Depending on the temper
Happiness is short-lived
Egoism survives
It survived through ages
Through folklore
Appealed to the delusions
Walls closed in
Yes, the mirrors are tough
Heavy reflections
Of captivity and melancholy
They discuss sometimes
In a hushed tone
Antagonism is the theme

It is close to impossible to change a narcissist. Narcissus fell in love with his reflection, rejected all his suitors and even death could not alter him. Hemmed in by egoism, they are destined to get lost in their reflections.
Another thoughtful post, loved it 🙂

It’s like being in a stubborn bubble. Cocooned by insecurity and the love with the conflicting reflections leave little room for escape.
Thank you so much, Deepa! Glad, you liked this. 🙂
