The Mirage
We all live
Within a dream
Of ourselves
Our inner mirror
Reflecting
Very differently
To its weaker counterpart
The one
Made of glass
Our inner wardrobe
Very different to the one
We we wear for real
Our inner voice
Almost unrecognisable
To that poor
Imposter
We hear when
It plays
Back to us
On whatever
Modern technology
Allows us
To replicate
So badly
And so we strut
And we pose
And we dream
And we live
Acting out two
Dramas
The one
On the outside
And the one
On the in
And as we
Dine
By candlelight
Who
Is to say
Which
Is the meat
And which
The mirage

Love the whole poem, but especially 'Acting out two dramas, the one on the outside and the one on the in' and 'which is the meat and which the mirage'
