I stepped outside of myself only to find an abundance
of raw reflections that wear on me like a pair of hurting
tight shoes that could not be removed.

Mirroered images that seemed to be different, unreal, ugly, traumatizing, and stereotypic to all who created
them.............................Except for me.

See, the reflection I am,
Throughout life I bore your evil names........... You stupid
Child, You will never amount to anything, - cry baby,
You are weak and Too black "Darky" and still I often bear
your Enigmatic tones and echoeing voices in my head that
escalates to humor, a chuckle of laughter, whispers or
topical conversations in amusement to all of
You................................Except for me.

Ever just wanted some Acceptance?
Approval, to be held in high Esteem, Favored, Appreciated.
Admired, not to be looked down on, but to be looked
up upon. Maybe your are already there! You know accepted,
Well known and of course Except for me
You all got it going on.

See me now, Same mirrored images
