Lately, when I look at myself
I cannot bring myself to say,
“Wow, I look as if
I am doing quite well!”
And when a small,
Belittling part of me shouts,
“You are one shell of a belle!”
I try not to dwell on it,
And when I shut my eyes
In hopes of breaking the spell,
It does not work very well.

Yes, those uncertain moments. Would want to wish them away. Or just stay away from mirrors…
Lovely and deep, Aaysid. ๐
