Reflections.
"The mirror is a worthless invention. The only way to truly see yourself is in the reflection of someone else's eyes" - Voltaire. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Is it a coincidence that the word reflection also refers to thought? Is the human animal ever sane if it has no-one to reflect? ~~~Fiction, non-fiction, poetry, prose, nonsense or diction. Anything goes.

Mirror, mirror on the wall,

What do you see when you fall?

Do you see miracles?

Do you find yourself unbelievable?

Or do you just have the word ‘failure’ pierce through?

Trust me when I say, “I feel you”

’Cause I came from feeling miserable to slowly finding myself new

What do you see in a mirror?

Someone who has gone through the thought of seeing themselves as ‘imperfect’?

Someone who has been patiently writing their story chapter after chapter?

Someone who has and always will be that powerful person they are seeing right now?

Regardless of where your reflection is seen or from what perspective it seems to be on,

Whether it is through a window or someone's eyes,

Everyone’s reflection drags expectations and self-love down the crevasse of torture

Everyone’s reflection shares an untold story

Should it remain that way?

Yes.

Yes, it should.
