Self Awareness

Just out of sight for all of this time My reflection convoluted Because it was effused through the eyes of others Embarking on strange and harrowing journeys To find only an empty castle Countless attempts I have made to fill this space Cavernous and cold, even adorned with my inadequate furnishings No more of this The mirror shall be my own, Not the sleek dark orbs of strangers with their own intent Within the comfort of my own reflection My journey starts anew.
