Sometimes I Like Him: A Poem on Self-Perception
A short reflective poem on self-perception — the version of you in the mirror is never quite the same twice, and the relationship to him shifts too.
A small one. About the strange fact that the you you see is never quite the same one twice.
When I look in the mirror
What do I see?
If you asked me
I’d say I see someone new
Every day
Sometimes I like him
Sometimes I don’t
That’s the honest report. The you in the mirror is shifting all the time, and the relationship to him is too. Both versions — the like and the don’t — are temporary. So is the next one.
