The True Self within the Mirror
For so long looking into the mirror
I saw a reflection of an image,
A stranger looking back at me..
As I look into my eyes,
I saw only emptiness from within..
Beneath those eyes were my fears,
E fear of Sorrow,
E fear of Pain,
E fear of Despair..
How could I not know this face before me,
As I stood looking at the reflection in the mirror?
Where was the Person I used to be,
Why couldn’t I see him again?
Turning round, looking into the mirror once more,
I saw my life.
A Life that has gone out
A Life that has been extinguished.
And now all my pride,
And all my joy,
My hopes, my passions,
My dreams,
All destroyed.
What reflected back from the mirror
Was a stranger looking back at me,
just an empty shell of my being.
Standing there once more,
Deserted and isolated.
The feeling set back, where was this person
I once called ME?
Walking away from that image,
Not wanting to take another look,
I carried on wif my life..
Through the hurt and pain,
Endless torment and suffering,
The sleepless nights where I wallop in despair and no one heard.
The pain slowly fades,
but the scars still remain.
The truth finally sank in on me..
It took many setbacks and disappointments
To find the true me.
No longer am I just the image in the mirror
I am the reflection of my life,
E past,
E future,
E present,
And the reflection of our endless Love..
