Poem Entitled: Looking Glass

Looking inside

Seeing my reflection

Reflecting back at me

Who am I?

Where am I?

What is my purpose?

Looking through this looking glass

Questions unfold

What is my identity?

Who were my forefathers?

Who am I in totality?

Do I like the person I am?

Am I happy?

Am I proud of me?

Looking inside a looking glass

You cannot hide your insecurities

This glass sees it all

The scars you try to hide

The skeletons in your closet

The fear you have for trying something new

This looking glass sees all of you

You cannot hide from this looking glass

As it knows you

Looking into this looking glass

Do I like what I see?

Should I stand upright?

Should I let self –love ooze from my being?

Should I be confident?

Looking at this looking glass
