Mirror Reflection

1. Describe what you see..

A face that screams of a heritage that nobody recognizes.
Eyes baggy with ambitions that may not be achieved.
Somebody so on the go that if a person were to reach out to them, they wouldn't be found.
An eye sore that drags up unwanted memories.
A person who doesn't know their place.
A freckled face wisecracker with creases in her forehead.
My mother's daughter.
My father's regret.
Somebody given too much to do in too little time.
A social butterfly with a dimple in the right cheek.
A dismal puddle of "A Believer."
An antagonizer.
A little girl who curses like a sailor and enjoys doing men's work.
A prideful independence that will hurt someone eventually.
An individual fed up with low expectations because of her gender.
Child of God, only because that's what you're supposed to say.
An asker of questions with no answers.
A girl who wants to be taken care of and loved but is too afraid that no one will, so she takes on the world alone to avoid being let down or left behind.
Somebody who has been rejected.
A comedian by way of coping, not for kicks.
A thirst to provide because of nature- not obligation.
A lost soul in a fish bowl.
A friend.
A ball of energy and well constructed smiles.

A thorn in the side of the superficial (reminding them of who they really are) and an oasis of fresh water for the parched authentic (giving them hope for humanity).

A beautiful woman whose life sings for us to let it be, keep it real and press on.

I enjoy what you've written and I like who you are.

grace and peace.
