Mirror Mirror on the wall… Can you tell me who I am at all?


The biggest question we ask ourselves is “who am I?”
   But no one knows the answer.


You may think you know who you are,
   But is it the inner
               Or outer you that you know?


Our outer self is what we portray to the world,
   Our inner self is something no one knows about -
      Sometimes not even ourselves


Mirror Mirror on the wall… Can people look inside and gaze into my soul?


Our soul is a representation of who we are.


Some are as vibrant as glistening stars.
   They’re young,
      Still blooming
         And living up a storm


Others are as black as a raven’s back.
   They look ecstatic,
      They have life in their grasp.
But on the inside they shriek for help,
   Plead for someone to see and let them out,
      They ache for understanding.

Most people deem themselves a star,
   But deep down they have their doubts.

They’re entangled between what they want
   And what they feel.



Mirror Mirror on the wall… Is this real? Or have I been dreaming all along?


This is what most dreamers ask.


They’re caught between reality
   And make believe.


They’re typically blind to what’s in front of them.
   They could have a partner, who treats them astonishingly,
      But they’ll have an image of how this person should look and act.
They’re oblivious to what they already have.


Mirror Mirror on the wall… Is this who I’ve grown up to become?


Many people think that once they’ve matured
   There’s no way of changing.


But it’s your will power
   And strength
      That makes change in your life.


If you crave change
   Then go out and make it happen -
      Don't wait for someone else.


You are obligated to make change in your life.
   You have the key to your own happiness.
If you truly believe in change
   Then what’s preventing you from it?








Mirror Mirror on the wall… Can you tell me who I am at all?


I am me.
   I am the author of my life
      And happiness.


I am 5”3.
   I have long brown hair
      And blue eyes.
I portray to the world that I’m young and courageous;
   That I can dominate whatever life throws at me.


But deep down I’m small,
   Delicate.
     I still need my mom around to hold me.


There are 2 of me:
   The outer me is easy to distinguish, Yet the inner me is much more complex.
   Many don't know the full inner me -
      Including myself.


The inner me has entangled itself in the web of fairytale.
   It clashes between fantasy and rationalism.
       It has a need to be cherished, but not abandoned;
            To appreciate, but not suffer.


Part of me is fascinated by my complexity
   But the other wishes it would stop.


To those who wish to know the inner me,
   I am a labyrinth
      With everlasting dead ends.


But that's what makes me
   Me.


All are welcome to join the journey into my labyrinth mind.
   Let's solve this puzzle together.


This journey won't be easy,
   But nothing ever is
I know my cloudy soul won't rest
   Until my journey ends.


Mirror mirror on the wall… I am one of countless others with an unsolved soul.


This is who I am.

I want to choose myself and put myself first and be strong enough to see myself through and be who I am meant to be. I want to have a good relationship with my family and I want this house to be home. I want to get things right this time; I want to stop keeping secrets. I want to fully accept that this life is my reality, on borrowed time. I want to be the girl all the people I love believe me to be. I want to be beautiful, smart, strong, and deserving, on my own terms. I want to reach my full potential and be happy and content with the hand I have been given because I owe myself that much. I want to chase my dreams and not fear the consequences. I want to be myself and have that be enough. I want to stop wanting to go back to the past just to redo a few things. I want the present to be so good, I stop wishing for the future. I want the fact that everything gets better to be in etched into my heart and mind that I don’t need other people to constantly remind me. I want to do better in school. I want to make myself proud. I want to be healthy and full of soul. I want to be better. I want to give the world a genuine a smile and I want to stop faking my I’m fine’s and my I’m okay’s. I want to look in the mirror and like what I see. I want to go through each day believing that I am earning my way to deserving all the good that’s happening to me and that everything will make me stronger. I’m still here and I’m trying. I hope you’re proud of me.
Lunar times, seasons pass,
my mind seems lost in a fog of time,
with the pull of the moon on my mind,
leaves me searching for I know not what,
like I have found a black hole within my mind.

One should always look forward to dying,
So long as one always looks forward to living.
Like to hear your comments.

I wait
Time passes
That's my fate
I wonder what happened
To my beautiful date

I care
My emotions wear
Sometimes I wonder
If I even have a pair

I bleed
You don't see
I am ashamed
Of that part of me

Who takes it
On the cheek
Do you know
What anger does
Way down deep?

I hide
Press my pen
And lie
I won't
Let you see
  My deepest darkest side...
