The Mirror Man

He reflects his movement from others.


He reflects his decisions from others.
He reflects his behavior from others.
Behind the mirror, there is no one.

He drifts through life, reflecting.


No thoughts of his own exist.
No feelings of his own exist.
When brought into the touch of reality,
He only shatters beyond recognition.

When alone, he does not exist.


How can he?
Someone walks forward, he walks forward.
Someone walks backwards, he walks backwards.
Without anyone, he stops, dead.

Hope lies in what he sees.


Despair lies in what he sees.
The choices are infinite, but never his own.
Whatever he sees, that is what he is.
A mirror man.
