Stranger in the Mirror
Folder:
Personal (Hope) I don’t recognize myself anymore.
I’m a muted version
of who I thought I could be,
silenced by a grayscale world.
The stranger in the mirror
is staring at me
as her eyes turn to floods.
She becomes a blurred image
stuck in the in-between,
a ghost in the purgatory of my dreams.
I don’t know what I believe in anymore.
My convictions have faded
behind the shadows of my regret,
eclipsed by my fears.
Could I ever become everything
I envisioned I could be?
A vibrant, confident woman
shattering the reflection.
