My Looking Glass Self

I fear not the unknown but what I cannot unleash and interpret stifled emotions blur my vision leaving my looking glass self – unclear my insides are in disarray, like shredded confetti propelling in the wind scattered pieces lose their bearing leaving my looking glass self - astray bewilderment surrounds me now, while revisiting an exhausted road heavy footprints convey a story leaving my looking glass self - questioning life’s sophistication is a struggle, akin to a rubix cube to succeed with no difficulty - cheat moulding fate to the desired outcome leaving my looking glass self - discreditable I excavate buried courage, and confront the image gazing back at me suffering has been endured, however the reflection stands upright and determined despite life’s battle, survival has conquered leaving my looking glass self – intact written by Diana-Marie Bombardieri January 11, 2012 Originally written in 1998
