reflections
3.14.01

looking into the mirror,
I stare at my
reflection.
she stares back,
mocking me
with a knowing
grin;
her eyebrow raised in silent inquiry,
posing an unformed question
which hangs in the air
all around me-
so heavy, it seems
almost
tangible.
I wait an eternity
while millions of nagging doubts
emerge,
wearing down my already thin composure.
Abruptly,
I break the silence
with a laugh
of defiance.
the elusive confidence I seek
finally returning,
to claim victory.
