PAINED REFLECTION
The same way I look at myself in the mirror and can't see my reflection
Is the same way I see my perfection getting overshadowed by my Imperfections
Sadly enough, the tears that brim out of my eyes are not provoked by my emotions or thoughts
but by the triggered memories that fail not to leave a scar in my heart and haunt my personality
then I soliloquize and see how untrue I've been to myself
how I've hidden in my shadow because of fear of being judged
how I've regarded other people's judgement about myself and disregarded mine
I thought I could seek my joy and confidence from the girl I see in the mirror
How wrong was I!
she's fading away gradually
And all that remains is the girl that's trying to hide her emotions behind her fake confidence
trying to hide from the world criticist
trying to hide from herself
she was to foolish to put her happiness away in the hands that could break it without hesitance
she looks into the mirror again hoping to see beyond her reflection
seeing all her sacrifices going down the drain
looking at the pain in the eyes of her reflection
unable to forget the trust she has broken to herself

she looks at herself in the mirror again
wanting to feel empowered again
to feel herself from her own trap
to know that the key to her heart and freedom is the acceptance by herself to herself
the hardest task!
once again she looks into the mirror
this time seeing beyond her reflection
but her pained reflection

How wrong was she!
