Kathleen MarieReflections they give me That my mirror does not They know the new me Not the old me That I am not
About This Quote
We don’t see our true reflection in a mirror. Instead, we see a reflection that hides our true self. We have to take a look at the mirror to see the real us, but that “real” us is not the one we want to show. In the same way, people don’t know the new Beyoncé, Jay-Z or other celebrities from before they become famous. They only know the person who is being watched by everyone else, and that person is not their real self.
