Poetry friends: My contribution for tonight is called "Nothing Lies..." Comments?
Nothing lies
Better than a mirror
Or more often.
I don’t look like that.
I’m not old.
My cheeks don’t sag that way.
That’s someone else.
Who is it that’s wearing that stupid look
On a ruddy face that resembles
The full moon in shape?
Not me.
The expression on my face
Doesn’t look like that.
The expression on my face is wise.
If you saw it you’d want to talk to me.
And my neck is longer too, and thinner.
With one chin less than that and a nose
That doesn’t look like it was shortened
On a grindstone.
My eyes look nothing like those.
They aren’t dull or tired looking.
My eyes betray my intelligence,
Not hide it.
I know my own face
Better than any mirror does.
Nothing lies
Better than a mirror.
Nothing and no one.

my shoulders once again
and say

Objects in my mirror are read backwards and upside down.
If this were a fun house we would all be sad old clowns.
I keep up appearances, smile rather than wear a frown
Reflections I must face read me inside out and on the ground.

Like always, your poem is amazing. I love it(: Could you be referring to someone of old age whose in denial about their loss of youth?
