To the hated reflection...

A shame no man can see himself.
Mirrors lie
Pictures only show what's outside
No man can see himself, though he has eyes

A shame no man knows what he means to someone
Words can only tell so much
Gossip and rumors are likely false
No man hears what people have to say about him, though he has ears

A shame no man sees himself the way he is
A man's own eyes lie
His own brain tells him dreadful thoughts of what it sees in its holder

Mirrors lie
Cameras only show what's outside.

A shame you don't see what is seen when eyes are set on you.
It's beautiful.
