Excellence Award in the 'Write Along 2018' competition
A stare then a crack,
Eye to eye with a stranger.
A soul pitch black,
Can't runaway from the danger.
A memory of a little girl,
Blind to all her flaws.
A dance then a twirl,
My reflection reached out it's claws.
An image of who I hate,
Who I didn't want to become.
Turn me back to my good old self,
When all I felt for myself was love.
Mirror shattered, I asked
Who are you?
The stranger answered,
I am you.
