perceive the me

Some say truth lies within a reflection of ourselves

behind the mirror

 beyond the filters of filters we know 

and all we try to fight against 

my mirror stands before me 

countlessly broken by perceptions long ago

I escaped traditions, ridicule 

society 

but 

most importantly 

the best thing I see 

found in the depth of truth 

same young girl with hope 

5 years later 

finally catching up to me
