To my amazement, it was coming from me.
I gazed into the face that was supposed to be mine
and who I saw was not the person I thought I was.
The reflection in the mirror was somebody I did not know.
The peaceful beauty of the reflected face
Did not reveal the monster that I know still lurks inside.
As I gazed upon the face that I saw before me
I wondered where the look of contentment came from.
Is it inside myself, in places that I had never knew existed?
I desperately wanted to find the hidden corner of my soul
That had never known pain and suffering.
It was then that I began my journey of enlightment
Traveling deep into my soul hoping to find the face
reflected in the mirror.
