🖤 I look at the reflection in the mirror. Am I looking at myself?

Or am I looking at a stranger whose feelings and choices I could not understand anymore?

I look long and hard at the reflection. Do her eyes convey peace and happiness? Or do they battle with angst and restlessness?

This reflection in the mirror is never going to be anything other than exactly what I don’t need in my life.

Reflections

Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?
Why is my reflection someone I don't know? 🎶

@CookieCrumbs Human souls are like reflecting water. When seeing ourself all of our movements are opposed to us. Raising our right hand raises the left in our image. We speak or act the opposite of how we truly feel, but when viewing another, we see ourselves in them no matter how much we perceive our contradictory behavior in that likeness. I believe that fundamentally, peoples hearts wish to connect with and accept each other.
