Mirror Lake

I claim this spot.
It's pretty but then I notice a plastic bottle.
I take it out and I see the ripples explaining the fear of its future.
I see myself in the lake.
The lake said it's us to blame.
I feel the lake's fear.
I see myself,
I know what's coming,
I know to prepare.
The fear keeps making ripples.
Fear, it's powerful.
