The Stranger In The Mirror (Cocoon)

I look in the mirror

and I don't like what 

I see,

the girl in the glass 

looks like a stranger 

to me.

To this Image I feel 

no strong connection,

this reflection doesn’t 

match my inward 

projection.

Burrowed deep down 

inside there is a genuine 

version of me,

a version of me that cannot

yet be seen.

Though, there will be a 

day-

the day is coming soon

when like a butterfly I 

will emerge from my

cocoon,

as a flower does in full 

sunlight I will bloom and

everyone will see my life

resurrected from what was 

once thought to be my final

tomb.
