Reflection


The reflection

Perception and definitions.

Abstract opinions.

Who I am has no firm standing.

Scars and lines

Battles won.

Battles lost.

Truth I don't see.

The reflection,

Seeking a new direction.

Escape from the confines between the open wounds.

Perception begs to become real.

Change.

Lost between who I am and who I want to be.

To be defined by the light within,

Leaving opinion beyond comprehension.

Shatter the glass.

Throw reflection to the wind.

Proclaim to the open.

I will be who I want to be.

Not the ignorance found in the reflection.

Perception and definitions.

Abstract opinions.
