My Reflection
By KastleK
I have been consumed with the deficiency of self I am wearing of explaining why. A long-ago time of battering, condemnation, censure, blame, I was reprimanded, denounced as nothing, Cut up and chastised. I will try to explain the best I can. I was only a reflection of someone else, But I looked deep,mesmerized, and saw only what I believed to be my own reflection in the eyes of one who could not see me. I could not perceive or discern that I was not looking at myself. As I peered into a deep well of bitterness and resentment, I took it into myself as my own insufficiency. I wasn't hated, because I wasn't seen. The eyes did not reflect and I saw only what was felt for another. But, because there was no mirror, and I could not see myself, I believed myself to be nothing. Written March 1st, 2002 © on Mar 01 2002 03:04 PM PST 18 • 0 • 1
