And what do I see?
There is a reflection
But it's nothing like me
The smile doesn't look right
How can it be there
When inside I'm suffering
Overwhelming despair
The posture is confident
Yet inside my head
I know I'm a failure
And should hide away instead
So what does this tell me?
This image I see
Which one is real?
Outside or inner me

One of my favs in response to this prompt, Emma. I have long thought the image we see in a mirror has very little to do with the entity standing there.
Ah yes, sometimes it's better if we don't see- and other times we are the better for it- such is life!
nicely done, Emma - sometimes it's not easy to look in my mirror
Good reflection for this image.
A riddle in your poem ... the answer is both.
Always a good question. And I agree with Helen's answer.
