Imagine you are the mirror. Write a speech that you would like to deliver to the humans who come to see their reflection in you. You could begin like this ……
Good Morning dear humans
I feel honoured to have been given the opportunity to express my feelings and share my thoughts with you. As you know, all my life is spent in faithfully reflecting all that comes before my eyes …..
………. I’ m as pure as silver and reflect the images objectively. Nobody can blame me to be biased or being affected by any sort of like or dislike as I’m same for everybody. I want people to take me as truthful and not cruel as I reflect the same image as it is. I treat everybody in the same way because I am like god’s eye and am four cornered. As god looks after the people on earth with the same love and affection from all the four directions, I also give out the same treatment.
A wall is placed opposite me who is like my close companion. I keep looking at her all the time and she has become part of my life. Nobody can separate us except for some faces and darkness, she keeps looking at me and anybody can see the wall into me. This friend of mine is painted in pink and has got some spots of pink colour.
I am also compared with a lake which also reflects the image. A woman bends over it and tries to find her face in the depth of water. But she does not find clear image of her face and becomes distressed. Therefore, she takes the help of moon and candles who can give her temporary glow but cannot change the reality. I am a testimony to how she has grown from a young girl to an old woman. With each passing day the mirror reveals that she is ageing.

A woman bends over me, Searching my reaches for what she really is. Then she turns to those liars, the candles or the moon. What is the woman bending over?
