Likhang Isip, poetry, realization

The mirror says it all.

RIMG2620

Staring into your reflection

Removing the “I” from it’s illusion

Contemplating what you have been

You are horrified by what you’ve seen.

.

.

You keep asking; “Is it real?”

That you wanted to vomit your last meal

a merely product of world’s ordeal

to make you feel you’re normal

.

.

Your true face, you can’t see

The one who is real and pretty

It is covered by too much vanity

Your self you cannot identify your rarity

.

.

In this world you try to “Fit”

The sexy standard you are trying to meet.

You’ve avoided eating your favorite

To be part of this land’s beauty fleet.

.

.

In the mirror you are looking

Have you counted what you’re losing?

Are you mindful of what is already missing?

Oh, it’s just your identity that’s simply fading.
