Clear Reflection Poem by Anisha Nyambe

Did I ever mention that my favorite reflection of me
is in your eyes?
You are the one person who sees me as beautiful.

Reflections.
We all have one as our eyes tend to reflect those who
dare to stand right in front of us and stare...

I have seen myself in your eyes
and now I want to see myself through them.

Just to feel beautiful for a moment and not care
about the world around me...

All to have a clear reflection.

But all I get thrown at me is rejection.

Reflections...

Just to see myself through your eyes and not in them.
