On Reflection

Am I happy within myself

Or do I exist for someone else?

I’m not an open book to read

Nor a garment

I fall apart at the seams

Fragile more than hardened

Yet you will find my heart poured over my sleeves.

I can be so loud yet so quiet

So enigmatic yet transparent

They all told me if I’m strong my dreams will come true and resound

I will not vanish into thin air

Fade into the background

Even when I fight it I am a contradiction of all I try to be

On reflection I am on a rollercoaster of my destiny.
