⁓ The Dance with My Clone ⁓

- An instigation to my clone -

It’s a unique me,
Not a clone,

Perceiving my reflection…
All alone,

Observing my own reflection
In the crystal-clear mirror,

The truth beyond what I see
Poses a pure challenge to grapple.

Some say that
I am a grim guy,

Some bully me
With cynical smiles,

Others criticize me,
Talking and plotting behind my back,

Assigned as a loser, reckless,
And a worthless goofy wag.

With all those wimpy notes
Attached to my face,

With all the hatred
Others determinedly create,

Sinking me deeply,
Leaving no space for a peaceful rest,

In the shadows of judgment,
My spirit remains suppressed.

The person I see in the reflection,
Standing in reverse,

Wearing the hurt, the pain,
And suffering as if under a curse,

“Hey, take a good look at me!”
Yell out loud, a heartfelt alert,

“You’re my only clone on Earth;”
“Don’t be pessimistic and inert.”
