MIRROR’S DECEPTION

A Very Conflicting Feeling

A reflection of myself very confusing. Could it be of happiness or sadness?. Photo by Allef Vinicius on Unsplash

This mirror, a reflection of doubt and confusion

A stranger in my eyes and a visitor in my mind

Such a tricky snare, reflecting an image beyond repair

One moment, a vision of perfection so rare

Next, a flawed face with imperfection so bare

One moment, a superstar, shining bright

Next, a fragile soul, lost in the night

My self-worth, a pendulum swings, a puzzle hard to complete

Pieces of confidence, scattered at my feet

I struggle to assemble, a clear pictures of me

As the pieces keep changing, like a puzzle in a spree…..

Sometimes, the mirror of me whispers sweet nothings, a flattering tone

“You’re beautiful, you’re worth it, you’re the one”

But soon, it hisses cruel, heartless lies

“You’re ugly, you’re worthless, you’re not enough, you’re not doing better”

Sometimes, I’m a warrior, armed and strong

Other times, a volunerable heart that can’t belong

I search for a constant steady beat

A rhythm that assures me, I’m enough

Like scales, my esteem tips and sways between “I’m enough and I’m not enough” days

The voices in my head, a constant debate

A battle between self strength and self doubts weight

Yet, in the chaos, I still search for solid ground, a steady place where my worth isn’t measured

I search for a truthful grace, a reflection that shows me my true self

A mirror that reveals my inner strength and shows me beauty, beyond physical length

Even though the puzzle keeps shifting and the pieces keeps rearranging to a deceptive mirror, I’ll always find my worth

Mirror’s deception, a trick of the mind

A never ending battle, I’ll struggle to see beyond its deception

A reality, that true beauty lies in the heart and soul

And that self-worth is not a reflection to be controlled.
