The Mirror of Truth

In the darkness, the mirror stands,
Cold and silent, without commands.
No lies to hide, no mask to wear,
It shows me truth, raw and bare.

The face I see is lined with pride,
Every flaw I tried to hide.
The king I was, the crown I lost,
Now reflects the painful cost.

Each crack reveals the things I’ve done,
The battles lost, the wars I’ve won.
Yet in this glass, I see it clear,
The person I became out of fear.

No throne remains, no grandeur tall,
Just a man who’s faced his fall.
The mirror speaks without a sound,
In truth, I find solid ground.
