I
sit here
in the darkness
knowing I spite myself
yet feelings can not remain hidden
if truth is to be held accountable.

I
have learned
to free that which wants freedom
and if I must take the blame
it is something I am so used to doing
that the pain that remains
is just another part of who I am
and who I am meant to be...

So I free you, to be who you are
as I am always going to be me,
the one who is never enough...

so says the mirror

the mirror can only reflect our own perceptions - interpretations - this is well done -

your perception says this, but perhaps the onlooker is who they want to be...and want to share the burden with you.
maybe you are enough?

This is an amazing piece of writing.
Very much enjoyed. Chris

I love it when you have these reflective conversations; very cool.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown
