Reality Check

Reality check…

I saw my image in the mirror,

I looked different...

Timid,

Strange,

Unfamiliar,

Vulnerable,

Exposed.

But away from the mirror,

I felt different..

Big,

Mighty,

Indispensable,

Skillful,

Ace.

Swinging between the two contrasts,

Moulded and put together in our body casts.

The reality check alarms me to the core,

The reality check keeps me on my toes.
