The Mirror Told Me So

December 28, 2015December 19, 2015 thesarahdoughty

A kaleidoscope of color
once filled you with so much light,
you overflowed with it.
But over time, it’s been siphoned,
slowly draining you dry.
Now there’s nothing left but shadow.

I think you got to adjust your mirror, mine is always telling me how cool and handsome and smart and sexy I am, I even have to tell it to shut up that it´s embarassing me

So good, Sarah – you’ve captured a feeling I’ve had before with great eloquence. As I finished, I had a real ‘yes!’ moment. Nicely done 🙂
