I look in the mirror,

I see myself,

Is that me trapped somewhere,

Seem so peaceful and free of care,

I advance towards my appearance,

It shatters the mirrors and seems to run,

Leaving me alone with this desire that burns.

quite powerful , as far as the mirror and the reflection to often I believe when we look into the mirror we see our true reflections and maybe that's why we tend to want to run, you captured this perfectly

This is screming the question,
Who Am I? ...and do we really see ourselves? Or are we just afraid to face our truths?...a brain teaser...great work.

I agree completely with Ron... and in this piece, I see many different feelings..but your title expresses the overall finding, and that is acceptance of all. Great job!

I think that to be able to accept others for who they are we must first accept ourselves.
The harshest critic of one is that same person.
such is life i guess.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I hate your socks. I'd like to burn them!
