Poem: My Reflection
This reflection is it really me?
Yes my nose that crazy hair
It’s in my eyes though
my look of dissociation
I feel the dissatisfaction
the disambiguation is deep.
Am I ever enough?
My belly’s soft a little round
No six pack abs like Arni
No chiseled unique physique
It’s simply unspectacular
Captured in my reflections gaze
A puzzled furrowed brow eyebrow raised
Can I learn to appreciate?
Can I grow to recognize?
I’m lost reflecting thoughts
Not that reflection there, no
Do I dare challenge the stunning
The perfect those magnificent others?
I’ve been taught to adore
To admire everything but me!
I’ve learnt to be insignificant
To tow the line to buy to be beautiful
Is it ever enough?
Am I never enough?
I glance I glare into this void
I grab my stare screaming
“Never, Ever!” will I capitulate to mediocrity again
I’ve been lost
I’ve just found
Me in enough
I’m enough for me
I’m enough to be happy
I’m enough to be true
I’m enough to feel uniquely
Meaningfully me.
