What the Mirror Doesn’t Show

We look into mirrors and expect truth. But mirrors lie.

They don’t show the anxiety tucked behind a smile.
Or the exhaustion in someone who always looks “fine.”
They don’t reveal the nights spent thinking of a single sentence said five years ago.

They show symmetry. Skin. Reflection.
But not the inner war.

So don’t trust mirrors more than people.
And don’t judge someone by the face they wear today.

We all carry ghosts that don’t show up in glass.
