PROMPT #177

The visuals from last week are still floating in my eyes. So, I couldn’t think of anything other than a visual prompt for this week.

You are free to choose any one of the two images given below, and create a piece based on it.

My eyes deceive me, I think

The image in the mirror lies, I think

I close first one then the other eye to see

If it’s a defect in my vision or my brain

I still see a misshapen image of myself

And no matter how hard I try, it’s still broken

How could it be, that I, who is so perfect

Can see my beautiful face sliced up in distortion

Is it that the ugliness of my deeds and thoughts

Has surfaced and became visible for all to gaze upon?

Full of shame…
