Mirror Mirror
"Good morning mirror
How are you today?"
"Me?"
"I'm just reflecting
On my life
At how people approach me
Full of expectation
And hope
And denial
Then somehow resent me
When i tell them the truth
But only on a physical level
Sometimes
Even i
Can be shocked
Or surprised
I hide no secrets
Or tell no lies
Those lie
Within the realms
Of the beholder

I enjoyed the honesty I felt reading this. It can feel so pointless even thinking about explaining pieces of ourselves to others that will only see us to the extent that their perception allows. The world is too full of people who will lash out on people around them to protect their own shame, when they could instead focus on defeating that shame. I suppose it's something a lot easier said than done. Keep sharing yourself with the world!
