To Reflect (13)

As I glance in the
mirror, I see no
one.

As I glance in the
mirror, I see
someone.

She’s sometimes
conflicted,

sometimes
contradicted,

pained by worries
that are like a million
different burdens
weighing down.

Upon her face
are brown eyes,
and lips,

lips turned into a
smile, lips turned
into a thin line.

She’s fine.

She’s okay.

She’s not fine.

She’s not okay.

Etc. etc. etc. etc.

Emotions can
sometimes be
a motion she
hates to go
through.

Why can’t she
feel nothing?

Once that happens,
no one could upset
her.

Or get under her skin
like a deadly disease.

Yet, entirely, emotions
and going through
the motions make
us humans.

That is about right
I suppose.
