Mirror Images Poem by Alysza Ripley

Conforming will never happen
I will fight the gray and
Rejoice in uniqueness of
The soul
No one is the
Same
Mirror images
Exist only in
The clear glass that
Reflects back to
The staring emptiness of
Soulless wanting and
Broken thoughts
Walking the streets
I will
Dare to be different
To be strong
To be brave
To be heard
To never back down
To never be silent
To never agree without
Actually agreeing
To never give up
To give it my all
To always remember
To never look at the ground
To love life
To smell the flowers and
Take leisurely strolls in the park
To make a change
To dare others
To be true to themselves
To love life
To always be myself
Never conforming
Even
When it’s only
Me
I will never be a
