Reflecting
Looking into the mirror
hating my reflection
its not ugly
its not hideous
its just not me
I remember who I was
well the last person I was
reincarnated many times
this time is different
nothing was erased
past knowledge lives on
my soul and body are not one with each other
I cant be someone new
when I am still me
I cannot forget
though I try
someone unrecognizable
stares back at me
my tear
falls down her face
to be one
yet another
knowing it
realizing it
everyday looking at someone
that it is not you
forcing myself to look
to reflect on my reflection

A look at 'reality' (What ever that is?) from a refreshing angle. Thank you for sharing it with us.

I love this Nikki. You don't have to die to live another life... many can be contained in a single period of living. Mirrors keep us anchored in the current one, whether we're feeling it or not. (& the picture is fantastic!)

Like the shadows, the reflection of oneself will always be there, even without the mirror. Your past actions would always reflect who you really are and I like the way you showed that in a different perspective.
