Dear Reflection!

A piece of glass, I stare deep into

Finding for who I am, but I fail to.

Trapped in the piece of glass 

Thus looking for the happiness that’s imprisoned, but alas

I keep declining her the platonic love

Is she not worth being proud of?

Questions and statements digging deep into my brain

I stand staring at the mirror trying to cover up my pain!

That girl, who sits to my left in the class

Stirs up my dopamine like no other lass 

Is it wrong to feel happy that way,

Each and every moment, everyday?

A tornado of questions swirling up high within me

Makes me feel restless

Makes me question myself

Makes me question my character

Mirror, my dear mirror, do you know me?

What are you trying to teach?

Lusting is a sin, but I am happy to accept her with a grin

I hold myself back and I don’t know where I am drifting

While still being skeptical as to how I am existing

Surface talking, cause I am left with no option

Self- torturing, putting my life to decoction.

Lying and refraining is all I do,

So that princes I could woo!

But do I need them?

Is the question that puts me to condemn. 

Why do I hide behind a mask?

Why to suppress is what I ask

‘Blending in with the society,

By thrusting myself into deep anxiety? ‘

But..

Why don’t I just accept,

As to who I am and respect 

The person I am, a little different

Like most of my peers aren’t.

Acceptance is love

Dear reflection, I thus release you from your captive cove!

To self, it’s a promise

The thought of forgetting myself for the world, I dismiss.
