Fate is defined as 1. force predetermine events: the force or principle believed to predetermine events 2. outcome: a consequence or final result
3. destiny: something with decisive or far-reaching consequences that inevitably happens to somebody or something 4. disastrous consequence: a disastrous or ruinous outcome.

If one is standing in front of a mirror then you’re reflecting, making an evaluation of yourself(past to present). From your poem I see a reflection not necessarily Fate.

I'm not addressing a weaker version of myself. I'm addressing the reflection of myself. Its like if your reflection could talk what would it say kinda poem.

As for 'fate' being defined in this poem its number '3. destiny: something with decisive or far-reaching consequences that inevitably happens to somebody or something'.

Its inevitable for a person to reflect on their reflection (present to present) and find something that they don't like about it. I took it to the next level by written in a poem how my reflection would feel if it could speak. Thank you for you comment and I hope you have better understand of my poem.
