Reflection
September 2, 2014
A reflection in the mirror
That’s all I’ll ever be
An image flipped backwards
With nothing else to see
I slowly raise my hand and gingerly touch the glass
Afraid of something- I don’t know what
This moment too shall pass
Alone with just my likeness
The alter image of me
We have hopes and dreams of greatness
But under that, insecurity
Reaching for the light switch, I take one last look at my face
Hoping that tomorrow my fears will be erased
Alone with my thoughts
Just me in the dark
Praying that tomorrow a new journey I’ll embark

This poem is what I feel when I gaze in the mirror- and I know others feel it too
