We meet every morning
like it’s the 1st time
forgetting that I was
there
as your personal commentator
at your
best and worst times
from your brightest smile
to the forced moment
when you faced me
admitting
you were hurt
tears filled your eyes
bloodshot red
cold rag to the face
then looked at me
to confirm if others could tell
I was there
with nothing to say
but everything
of your perspective
Mimicking whatever
precious emotions desired
Not your definition
but this time I bet your wondering
what voice is this you’re hearing?
not an imitating
self-degrading
voice that only follows
A voice that has decided to
replace follow
with lead
Before you stop me
to say
I don’t know
what I’m talking about...
I’ve had enough of you
Looking at me
And not seeing what I see
Don’t tell me your lie
Before I tell you my truth
Which happens to be yours
One of purpose
promise
passion
determination
humility
and beauty
That whatever is for you
is for you
And will be found
You think because I look like you
I am your reflective truth
Well I’m not
I am not a reflection
You have distorted me
into an ever-growing scrapbook
of your moments on a rollercoaster
So let me tell you what I am
I am a sign that
YOU Are Still Here
While many wish their
Loved ones could make the
Same sign re-appear
I am a reminder
of the truth
that there is a rainbow
after rain
and as long as
we can see each other
Your focus shall
know and remain
far, far, far, FAR
away
from
The peddling of many hustles
in a struggle
that surely has no gain
integrity
dignity
only a route where
Your name will be known
But YOU won’t recognize your name
THEN…
we’ll have this
same discussion
AND...
You would never believe me
So I am serving you
notice
Right NOW
I will no longer be your
"Magic Mirror on The Wall"
That’s in a movie
Your purpose goes beyond
The writings
directing
of a man-made script
Not fit
for the already written script
of your dreams you were
Meant to live
You’ve
Picked it up
Put it down
Imagined
read it
forgot that it was around
Now pick it up again
to see
what I attempt
to declare and define
every morning when we
meet like it’s the 1st time
the beauty of being YOU
which no one but YOU
can experience
perspective of design
with a sign for every reason
why your purpose is still
alive and well
So when you see me
I see you
I am not a reflection
I am the definition of your truth
Beyond aluminum
silver
And glass
No longer will you ask me to
mimic you
help rehearse things from the past
But allow me
to remind YOU of who you are
A definition created with
promise & truth!
Hello You! YES, YOU…
