REFLECT


Reflection 
Describes how one is seen
Shows your opposite gene,
In the light of day, I see the smiles 
Spreading around, bring it for a while.

Ends up, we all fake it, it seems
It was a reflection of what the world wanted to be seen 
Interchangeable we grief
Leaving the past a mirror of our relief

With every step on this winding road,
I shed my burdens, I lighten the load.
Through valleys deep and mountains tall,
My heart beats louder, I dare to call.

All in all,
The one reflection was a darkened
recall to the unreal Yarkand 
Far from all, I placed the mirror and 
What lies ahead, a mystery veiled,
In fragile hopes, my heart is sailed.

With every beat, my heart reveals,
The essence of what deeply feels
With every turn, a lesson learned,
Embracing each flame, my spirit burned

Describes how one is seen
Shows your opposite gene,
In others’ eyes, a glimpse of me,
Together, we find what it means to be free.

All in all 
The one reflection was a darker me

This is beautiful the rhyme is well thought out. i also like the stanza "with every beat, my heart reveals the essence of what it deeply feels with every turn a lesson learned embracing each flame my spirit is burned" its like your saying that your heart has had many loves but they always end the same with you hurting its a good thing our soul is forever we can keep loving or at least trying to love thanks for this poem
