Reflection

They do it with mirrors
They do it with glass.
They do it to see if they look nice.
Just don't stand there for too long,
Conceited girl.

I look in the ocean,
And the nearby pond.
I gaze and think whatever happened
Why is this water dirty?

I look towards my window,
Washed out with rain.
When I look in it,
The liquid falling makes me look
As if I'm crying.

They do it with mirrors
They do it with glass.
They don't really know how to reflect.

Okay, corrections made, I guess I just didn't think while writing this. Thatnks for pointing those out.

    I enjoyed this piece, I think I will probably come back to it again because I think it is one that needs to be read more than once to get the full effect. Nice write

    Refections about reflections! I guess it's quite funny how many people do look in objects to see their reflection to see their appearance. I rarely ever look in the mirror unless I'm shaving this hairy Ted E Bare face (lol). I want to thank you for entering my "The endless contest (or longest contest is more like it)!" contest. This will not be the last time I read your entry. At the minimum, it will be read at least once more during judging.

    Corrections requested: “Conceited” - “happened”. Why is this water dirty. need a question mark. “They don't really how to reflect.” I think you need a word between really and how. I’ll comment on it if you’ll correct it. If you don’t want to correct it, please remove it. I hope you don’t remove it. It’s quite good. Favorite lines: “The liquid falling makes me look
    As if I'm crying.”.................Removed because corrections were not made.
