My Mirror
Through the depths of my soul could I really find my true self..or would I run into another
imposter as if I was starring into a mirror..do I know me as well as I think or do you know
me as well as you think..but who is to judge who knows me best because if I sat down with
myself I wouldn't know what to expect...a mirror reflects an image but my mirror doesn't
reflect an image but the feelings and emotions of a man trying to figure out who he is and
what's his purpose beyond what he knows or expects of himself...looking at my
past...present..and hoping to see my future..I can only imagine..and continue to
imagine..because as of now I feel empty...but without being able to refill myself..........so
everyday I continue to look in my mirror hoping to see or feel something different but it
seems that everyday was just like the previous and the next would be the same..but what
would change my mirror I really dont know..so I broke my mirror looking for a change but
once again....everything was still the same...because my mirror was broke and shattered as
my life has been in every aspect of this so called life game....I can put it back together but
whose to say it won't break again...and give into all the temptations that shattered my image
from the beginning...and won't stop until it hits my end....but I realized that I don't need a
mirror to define myself or who I am because in reality I will never see my true self through
my own eyes...because the image in the mirror is just an image in the mirror.....and the
mirror was made to see what you want but not what's truly there....and If i need a mirror to
let me see the true me then...there is no me...but I won't stop there because I know that
somewhere somebody cares.....but who needs a mirror when you have a heart....my heart
has shown me more than a mirror could ever show me..and thats the truth..so today I
decided to put my mirror up...and look where it matters the most........
