My Reflection


What would I change?

noitcelfer yM

It's backwards

I need to turn it around

It's bro    ken

It's   c                   

           r    a   c       

                         k  e  

                                 d

From stress 

From needing to always be perfect

From always having the weight of the world on its shoulders

But this will soon change

Because everybody faces struggles

And there are many fragmented reflections 

Because there is no such thing as perfection

There is no "perfect" when it comes to school

or work

or the world

or anything

She can learn to make the best of imperfection

So she's picking up the pieces

And patching up the holes

She's smarter

and stronger

and happier

My reflection has turned around

Everything is clear again

My reflection shows the real me again
