Mirror friendship?

Did anyone think that a mirror could be a person's best friend?
It's there through every change of our life,
We look at during emotional crisis,
We ask questions and sometimes wait for a response,
It sees us at our best and worst,
It knows our family and friends,
It keeps secrets,
We make faces at it,
It always shows us who we really are,
Some people carry one around with them,
It comes in many different shapes and sizes as friends,
It's used to look at other people,
It never says a word!
It never passes judgement,
It's crazy but, we even treat the mirror as we would a friend,
We spit on it,
Write on it,
Cry on it,
Apologize for talking to them,
Break them and we are a reflection in every piece,
As if we broke it's heart,
But it never changes how it sees us,
We change when we look in it........

Blind complacency

Curiosity killed the cat,
Social media is the new parental outlet,
" Shhhhh can you keep a secret?"
But, phone is my own snitch,
Capturing the web of my own lies,
The closet is our children's darkroom,
What is being developed?
A kaleidoscope of selfies,
With a message,
Be careful of the photo chosen,
A misunderstood cloud can release undisclosed precipitation,
Watch for the spiral,
It's about to go viral!
Keep your eye on the closet,
The shoes displayed doesn't change who they are,
The spider's retina reveals deception,
As the confusion of passion,.
Creates delusion,
Partial illusion,
Is this because of global warming?
Choices are like the clothes worn,
Family values are hidden and torn,
Distraction is a form of attraction,
Wrong interaction,
Open the closet,
Because we need to see what shadows are following our children!
Because if they come out,
Will we be prepared?
