Stranger in the mirror
You ever look at yourself in the mirror and not recognize the person looking back? What does one do to resolve this? How do you find the person you once were?
Did I ever know who I was?
I had someone close to me say, “You always find yourself in a situation.” My response? “I’m really good at that.” I do find myself in some deep shit, and not your typical everyday shit. I mess up. I mess up a lot. I have to think fast and find a way to fix the issue that I’ve gotten myself into. Is it an easy fix? No. Never is. I am a major fuck up.
I always know what I have to do and when I need to it. The problem is that I allow my head to talk me into doing, or not doing the resolution. That is what gets me in trouble. I listen to that little voice and miss a payment here or there, buy things I don’t need just because I find it cute, or leave work a little early each day because I’m peopled-out. I’m really good at fucking things up… too bad that’s not a wanted skill because I’d be THE BEST.
With all this going on I look at myself in the mirror and I have no idea who I am. I have no idea why I do the things I do. When I was a teen, I had a small idea of who I wanted to be, but I allowed obstacles to get in my way. That’s a nasty habit I still clutch to this day.
I want to be who I thought I’d be. I want to look in the mirror and like the person I see. I want to kick that voice in the ass and get my priorities straight. I want to be happy.
Too often I get sucked right back down the rabbit hole and find everything spiraling out of control. It’s starting to give me vertigo.

A stranger always looking on me from my photos 👀 Читала недавно у одной девушки, на которую подписана, даже не помню если честно у кого, но интересную мысль, которая засела в голову. «Мы никогда за жизнь не видим себя по-настоящему, такими, какими видят нас наши близкие, наши друзья и родители» Те только нашу противоположность в зеркалах, к которой так привыкаем, что потом не узнаем себя в правильном варианте на фото. Но даже на фото просто момент, вырванный из контекста, без жизни и движения, без нашего голоса и мимики и это тоже совсем не то, какие мы на самом деле для людей. . Для меня это безумно глубокая и интересная мысль, ведь я всегда была так неуверенна в своей внешности, и проходить это начало только последние пару лет, я наконец начала смиряться и видеть в себе то, что мне твердили в комплиментах люди. Очень сильно помогли брекеты, развитие личного стиля и просто видимо возраст и осознание себя. . С фотографиями сложная история. Не помогает на каждой фотографии видеть себя очень по-разному: на селфи одно, на чьих-то фото другой человек совсем. Многих знаю, кто делает селфи, чтобы научиться принимать себя и это делает легче. А кто-то не фотографирует себя особо и не выкладывает и ему это не мешает и это не потому, что он не уверен в себе . Я вспоминаю также, что всегда влюблялась в актеров, не молелей и красивые картинки в интернете, а в то, как мужчина обаятелен, а это и внешность и поведение и мимика и манеры речи, шутки, много улыбок. Тч улыбайтесь этому незнакомцу в зеркале по утрам, делайте селфи, узнавайте разного себя и научитесь любить хотя бы кого-то из этих незнакомцев, а потом возможно и всех остальных и себя целиком и свою многогранность✨ . #me #selflove #strangerinthemirror #gingergirl #tattoed #inkedgirls #redhead #greeneyedgirl #botanicaltattoo #ulsk #любисебя https://www.instagram.com/p/BmVSPB8gPPg/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1l3037e2pmalr

2010 to 2007 - Censored selfies To be honest I wasn’t happy with my face for a long time. I got used to it eventually #strangerinthemirror https://www.instagram.com/p/CLr-yEvA2iw/?igshid=14c98u36jzd1m

Dopo 30 anni e più di barba e baffi, all'alba di questo 2021 ho sentito la necessità di rivedere il mio volto senza...e quindi ho tagliato via tutto. Ora continuo a guardarmi allo specchio e lisciarmi la pelle a "culetto di bambino"😂. Da domani si ricomincia a farla crescere. #newface #voltonuovo #nobeard #senzabarba #whoareyou #strangerinthemirror #berdless #chisei https://www.instagram.com/p/CJiyAR0Bq2l/?igshid=1ga2g5b4lvfaf

Have you ever felt like you're never really here? Like, you're here, but you aren't? Like a ghost, or like you're stuck in some parallel dimension, and even though you're here, you aren't really? #imnothere #nothere #haze #dreamy #nightmare #paralleldimension #paralleluniverse #sciencefiction #goodbyes #mirror #reflection #heartbreak #hollow #echoes #strangerinthemirror #poetry #poetrycommunity #writersofig #writerscommunity #poetsofindia #poetsofinstagram #poetsofig #girlswhowrite #poetryporn #poetryisnotdead #lolowritespoetry #therickshawmuse #poetsofbangalore #high

There’s a crack in the bathroom mirror, Right above my left eye, The jagged fracture couldn’t be clearer. As I wonder how it got there, I look at the person staring back at me with a blank expression. They are a stranger, Their eyes are hollow, lifeless. It’s sort of a scary sight, Seeing all the light just gone. You can tell they tried so hard, So hard to please everyone, Until they finally let down their guard. Everyone’s hurtful words finally caved in, Their happy thoughts long gone. No more flying for this lost soul. They are a walking corpse, Filled with nothing but broken promises and memories. Realization is a slap in the face. This stranger, Is in fact a doppelganger. I know now, That I am the lifeless soul. My happy thoughts were stolen, I’m the one with a hole in my chest. And all I have left to do, Is bitterly breathe.
the sick thoughts in my head
