the mirror

perhaps i didn't make myself clear,
perhaps i was afraid,
but you know that moment when you stand staring at yourself,
looking upwards, downwards, sideways...
looking for something linear.

in that moment, i was alone,
and we all know how frightened i am of being alone,
is that just me?
i think that could bring resonance, maybe even comfort...
knowing that we are all just frightened onto a journey to ensure
we're not alone.

seeking solace, seeking love,
always seeking, never being
winding my camera so i can capture yet another snapshot
of where i am at this moment
as opposed to simply actually being present...
