Challenge
There have been several mirror challenges but in this case we take and use the word "reflection" somewhere in your write. Poetry or Prose. It cannot be used as a title. Use it as a reflection of life, what you feel or see, long ago memories, or all the "what if's" ... Take "reflection" and run with it!
Make sure I am tagged only in the comment box and not the piece itself so I can get to you to read it in a timely manner as such @Danceinsilence
The Pond
Every day I stare back at the
reflection in the pond,
the face in the mirror,
the thing that claims to be me,
and I wonder: is this me?
Is the dirty face me?
Are the scarred arms me?
Is the matted greasy hair me?
Are the eyes mine,
or are they someone else's,
just made to reflect my emotions?
Are my hands mine,
are my words mine,
or is my whole body plagarized
like a highschool english paper?
Are my thoughts mine?
Are my stories mine?
Or are they, like the rest of me,
copied from some lowlife long ago?
