Face reader
He walked and he lived, eager to know people
Keenness soon transformed him into a face reader
Some had uncertainty,
No matter what they were hooked on
A few stood indifferent,
While there was so much to see to
It smiled, frowned, mocked, worried, and frustrated
None of which was intended or had to be so
Yet was carried by the young and the old
There were handful; true, subtle and calm;
And this was easily read
At first, liked his ability
But soon grew weary
Welcomed, was no good at it
Later than usual...he saw his impression
And the mirror divulged
Yes, I reflect
Through me, you try to know more of yourself
It is I-look out, who needs purge
You are by large flawless
See how you can relate this, to people you meet
Wink and giggle very often
There is more to life past toughness


Interpretation:
A layperson, who was very much interested in meeting people, as he got to know many individuals he developed a kind of skill, to read their faces. Some of the faces smiled but was fake, others worried, pretended, made fun of... he could read all this easily and those whom he assessed were ignorant as to how readable their thoughts were on their face. At first, the face reader liked this new skill of his but then he became jaded (worn out). He was so much into evaluating others that he paid less heed to himself. Nearly every one he met had put on so many faces that he recognised, he was not actually good at reading it.
When he looked at his image, the mirror in a way started talking to him, people usually reciprocate with our feelings, we compare and sort of balance our way of living with that of others. Although we are spick and span if the mirror does not happen to be clean, the image is flawed similarly it is just a change of our perspective that makes a whole lot of difference. Instead of being critical, if we remain open, we get to know that there is... more to life.
