Reflections

Reflections can point out what we don’t want to see, even under the best lighting I only see the worst of me, I look over every inch my vanity on full display, the grey hair and wrinkles I wish desperately would go away, I pluck, tweeze, dye and conceal everything that makes me unique, to blend into this petty society and avoid any negative critique, I hate that I’m so weak minded I wish I had the courage to be myself, being surrounded by photoshopped perfection certainly doesn’t help, if we removed all the filters we could judge beauty clearer. then I may not hate the image staring back at me in this mirror. 5/28/2021
