I go to the mirror at nights and wonder.
My eyes calculate this image in front of me.
What is this figure?
“It” started as a blur of gray and black. Then the eyes, nose, full lips, and round face formed.
“It” was a person-a female of some sort. I never in my life saw her.
“Its” skin was the same color as mines, but I didn’t know her.
I only studied her features of her face and body, but there was so much more I needed to know.
She studied me.
We never spoke;
We would just stand there facing each other and following each other’s movement.
I realized she looked like me but her body glowed and there was still a blur.
She’s still a stranger to me.
We studied each other well but wanted to know more.
Small features of dark blurs started to disappear. The glowing melted away.
I started to see her true self.
When I go to the mirror at nights, I see her face once more.
Then, I remember to myself-
A stranger she was. A stranger I am.

judge me as you please
but i dont care
judgment is like an pandemic disease
so disgusting i see everywhere
my great wonders may crawl overseas
i have not greed for attention
i have not greed for fame
but i have greed being myself, being me
so please, please tease my so-called weird ways
but remember in some years, months, or days-
that i allowed my mind to be set free
that i allowed myself to love the person i am
so judge me as you please
while i find being myself is the number one key
