The "I" inside of "You"

Although this poem may seem rather abstract, the theme is centered on consciousness vs. the external world (physical body, emotions, physiology, insecurities, etc).

Let me explain these subtile differences

Of You and I, in the Mirror.

I understand your lack of portrayal

Of the Ey inside of You.

That’s all they see, is You. Your face, your hair, your skin.

But what’s left inside of you, feels deeply misunderstood within

Does the weight of your body define me? No.

Your face, your eyes or race? No.

I’m conscious of all your emotions,

and witness tears stream down your face.

But do I cry? No. That’s you.

There’s no one who loves you more than I.

You, are all I have,

A reflection of Who I am.

Would you recognize me if you peered within?

I hope so. Do you?

Again, One remarkable piece of poetry
We look in the mirror and say: ''Are you like me? or a reflection of what I want to be?''

hahaha Nail it! this is pretty neat...self talk... from the out side to within.

some times we see another person staring back at us in the mirror!

Thank you for sharing!

Good way of expressing this, knowing yourself, reflecting whats within, hoping to understand/ recognise ones self not only through a image of physical appearance, looking deeper below the skin.

I hope so, what with all this gray highlighting, we sure don't have much time left, almost Jesus about this, I feel quite put myself in a trance with myself to allow myself to be put in a trance with a reflection of the self in a mirror, an impulse tells me I must consult my cards
