Scared of Reality

A women feeling regret of her past and what they have caused in her life

 In reality I see a women 30 years of age

Mirror says 50

 

In reality I see size 17

Mirror says 24

 

In reality I see a husband

Mirror says boyfriend

 

In reality I see children

Mirror says signs of a once marriage

 

In reality I see laughter

Mirror says sorrow

 

In reality I see glass of wine

Mirror says liquor

 

In reality I see a home

Mirror says rooms

 

In reality I see a career

Mirror says a job

 

In reality I see friends

Mirror says acquaintances

 

Reality says satisfied

Mirror says aching heart

 

My reality is unknown

Living suck between a mirror and self consciousness

Finding no peace in thought or sleep

In desperation I fight anguished and tormented by both

Wanting, pleading, and needing to find own inner peace

I know one is my true self

Neither is what I ever wished for

The choices I once made came with the price I now will pay

I will fight eternally until the day I break free

Girl, you need a new mirror.

People see what they feel sometimes in mirrors. They see the worst or the best depending on their moods. Pick a hobby that satisfies you and try to make yourself happy. :)

Go outside on a bright sunny day and breath it in.

I liked the way you pointed out the differences in so many things that affect people everyday though. (job vs career, friend vs acquaintances, self image)

This is a great idea. I love how you carried it out and I love how you ended it. Wonderful job. (:

(Follow the reality,that is, you. .the mirror aka friends aka thoughts of trying to live like your friends lies all the time).
