The People in The Mirror

The people in the mirror are the ones we love to hate and hate to love. 

They criticize us as much as we criticize them.

We get lost in their gaze in the most inconvenient times.

We never bother asking who they are and where they go. 

It's not like they’ll answer us. 

They see what we show them and show back what we see.

Breaking their only way of visual communication is said to grant seven years of misfortune.

The mirror. Full of people we can recognize as us. 

Following around only until we see another mirror and there they are.
