Reflection

Reflection

My reflection greets me, and I am torn

For she gives me joy and she gives me sorrow.

I look upon her with favor and scorn.

 

Her figure mocks me, a memory to mourn

Yet she wears her mother’s voluminous crown with pride.

My reflection greets, and I am torn.

 

She never tires of a fight, right or wrong I must warn

Yet she endlessly battles for her tomorrow.

I look upon her with favor and scorn.

 

She was ripped away, taken from where she was born

Yet here she walked as a joyous bride.

My reflection greets me, and I am torn.

 

She was told to fit into a certain form

Yet she flourished, her soul blinding with a golden glow

I look upon her with favor and scorn

 

 

She is everything I have ever hated

She is everything I have ever loved.

My reflection greets me, and I am torn

I look upon her with favor and scorn.
