Mirror, Mirror On The Wall — Photo-Artistry by kenne
I saw her coming.
The version of myself I wanted to see,
I saw her in the corners of my eyes,
I felt her shouting at me from the future,
So loud I heard it through another dimension,
I felt her overwhelming confidence and
Clear sense of direction shaking the ground as I pass by her image
So much so that I forget about the past;
It melts away with her words, at her resurrection
As I make her come alive time after time,
My Alter Ego.
She lies within me and sometimes, if you look closely
You can see her within the cracks of my skin,
Beneath the fragments of my broken heart when,
Against all odds, I must find strength.
— from Alter Ego by Adrianna Franklin
Selfies
Before the iPhone
and selfies,
there was the
self-portrait.
Children drew stick-figures
of themselves,
and still do.
Artisits painted
reflected images
of themselves,
and still do.
The images of life
we find most
fascinating
are of ourselves —
mirror, mirror
on the wall . . .
Tell me your stories
of unknown pleasures
as seen in the eyes of others.
