The Mirrored Place


Welcome to the Mirrored Place

Where the clocks turn counter-clockwise

Where we read and write,

From right to left,

Where normal is done in backwards ways.

When you look into the mirror

Standing there is me, your reflection

When you move left, I move right,

When you move right, I move left,

I do it all the same, but yet, I don’t.

You only see me when you look

But that doesn’t mean I cease to exist

When you walk away,

I live my life,

The backwards version of yours.

When you look at me, in the mirror

All you see is your reflection

But when i look inside,

To fix my hair or make-up,

I see you, my reflection.

Your place is the Mirrored Place

And your clocks turn the wrong way

When I move left, you move right,

When I blink, you follow suit,

You, my reflection, follow my every move.

Welcome to the Mirrored Place,

Where you’ve lived for all of your days.

Celeste Grey Luna

Celeste Grey Luna is only my pen name, not my real name. Mysterious...! I love singing, writing stories, songs and poems, drawing, typing, and anything to do with music. My favorite bands and artists are: Panic! At The Disco, Twenty One Pilots, Fall Out Boy, Flyleaf, Evanescence, Melanie Martinez. My favorite genre of music is alternative rock and some pop.I'm working on drawing anime, and getting better at it. I love doing fashion design and drawing animals. Poetry is one of my few habits!
