Lying Mirror

The first two lines in each stanza came to me last night. They kept coming and coming preventing sleep. Finished this late today and they stopped coming.

Mirror Maze by Uktara

My mirror is lying to me.
It cannot say who I be.
Hair all sticking up
Over a mind knowledge sup.
Eyes of tire
Hiding thoughts on fire.
Showing ears that hear
What some fear.
A body plumped with age,
Housing an ancestral rage.
Hands two sided tone,
But Black to the bone.
My mirror is lying to me,
Truth does not agree.

My mirror lied to me.
Could not tell me what I see.
Could not answer who is she.
Trapped what is free,
I know best to be.
