Don't Be My Mirror

Just because my eyes can't see me,
I will not need yours.
For trapped in your mist,
I'm hazy and doubtful
A mere ghost of who I am.
Then you drop the curtain,
Calling the show to an end
And what prevails is a vague shadow,
Forever hemmed in.
So I don't need you to be my mirror
Because I'm much more than the ghost in them.

You cannot see yourself with your own eyes and hence trust others to act as your mirror. But you can never be enough in someone else's eye...
