Mirrors & Masks
Stages in a bullied boy’s life
The boy in the mirror
a silent pale reflection
behind the rigid mask.
He has many questions and few answers.
Why is life difficult? Why do we hate ourselves sometimes? Why do we have to fight with inner and outer demons haunting and taunting us?
The young man in the mirror
has haunting bullied boy eyes.
I haven’t learned to like him yet,
behind his cold face rigid mask.
He is always hiding, not trusting the world to be himself. He still dances to other’s tunes and melodies. Insecurity and irrational self-awareness still haunt him on his daily walks in life’s garden.
The mature man in the mirror
became a rebel. It’s a bit late,
but it’s never too late to be yourself.
To love and celebrate your uniqueness.

The older gent in the clear mirror
settled his scores with life’s issues
He is a person who accepts…
