I Am More Than You See

A poem of self-discovery and acceptance.

Staring into the mirror, 
All its light is divine.
Glistening light rays sparkle.
But the image is not me.

Who am I?
Bits and pieces of bone,
A flesh sack with blood that flows.
Nothing but a body walking through life.

No matter how long I stare,
My true self is absent.
So I scream with all my might!
Shattering the mirror, 
Ignoring outside expectations.

I am more than labels,
I am more than what you see.
I am strong and worthy of happiness.
I am what I choose and not what you see.

I define myself.
The mirror will never define me.
