Reflections

Have you seen my face?

It was a reflection--
      it held my image
      and my children's
      and my housework
      and my religion
      and my anxieties
      and my fears
      and my hopes
      and my dreams.

So many filters to look through.

The image is distorted.
Is it just my reflection?
Or is it a true reflection of a changed person?

Strip away the onion.
Yes, it might make you cry.

Truth cannot hide forever,
     it must fall out.

  2. That's so sweet of you. Yes, I was just writing some thoughts down. I was thinking about how most people just see the commotion that always surrounds me as my kids are yelling, or I'm talking to people about primary, etc. But who gets the chance to actually learn about me.. and not just all the stuff that surrounds me? :)
