Here my thoughts on doping as a spoken-word poem. Do you get what’s going on in these athlete’s mind ? Do they never look in the mirror? Do they still dare to face the mirror?

Mirror Mirror on the Wall
Mirror, mirror on the wall,
tell us
who is the best of all?
Me, yes, me,
look at me,
standing here
on the highest step,
gold around my neck,
look at ME
the very best of all!
Give me your applause,
well deserved
for what I achieved,
achieved all by myself,
myself, MYSELF
an ever louder voice
tries to convince you,
tries to shout down
small voices deep inside
whispering
liar, cheater, looser, killer,
not all that glitters is gold.
Mirror, mirror on the wall
tell this reflection
I don’t like its treatment at all!
Me, the most precious gift
it got when it was born,
me, faithfully serving it
to get better
24/7 year around,
me, bearing all burdens of its will
and still!
in return I am pumped, pumped,
pumped full of harmful stuff
never being asked if I agree
since deep inside it knows
no, no, NO!
But be aware, my friend,
one day I won’t be loyal anymore
and my revanche will be hardcore.
Mirror, mirror on the wall
ask this athlete
if they need
this all-fake ego-boost at all!
Whom do they want to impress,
they are much more worth
with whatever less.
What’s fame and honour
built up on lies,
there is no such thing as honour
when playing dirty, guys!
Mirror, mirror on the wall
tell this cheater
we want to see the best
CLEAN winner of all!
We are tired of doubting
if it’s fake or real,
tired of seeing them steal,
tired of giving undeserved applause,
tired of witnessing their deep, deep fall.
Mirror, mirror on the wall,
I beg you,
please, give this athlete a wake-up call!
