xLx's blog: "Reflections of a Stranger"

I looked into the mirror today, and what did I see

A reflection of a total stranger

Who is the person I have allowed myself to become

It definitely perplexed me

No longer could my defensive walls protect me

There's no one person I can hide behind

There's no hidden, secret door for me to escape through

The cold air sweeps across my entire body

Chilling me to my very core

Then without a warning, I hear your voice

It softly echoes through my head, something once you said to me

It was at that very moment I realized

I was always right about you

There's something special and no coincidence I met you

As fast as the fear was consuming me, just as it always did without failure

something that I truly believed in was making the darkness and fear fade 

I knew now what I needed to do

Slowly and without my usual reservation

I turned back for one last look in the mirror

It was time to face the very things that haunt my soul

Face it head on I will

No longer could I deny the Reflection

That was ME
