Reflection Poetry

Poetry-on-reflection

It was like watching myself,
In the river's reflection.
The image which appeared,
was far from perfection.

It showed the real me,
The one I was really searching.
I wanted to talk to you,
was all I was urging.

The real self looked sad,
As if I had let her down.
She looked at me in distress,
With a deep frown.

I promised myself not to,
let that real self die.
There are some changes,
which I should soon apply.

I hope when we meet next,
we both seem the same.
Just like fire & its flame.
-Amrinder

Sometimes the image that we have imagined in our head is far from the image in reality. Looking in the mirror, trying to decipher that what's wrong, leaves us in pieces. Pieces that we are trying to reassemble according to the one in our brain. All it takes is time to accept the changes, the reflections that didn't align. Its all just a matter of time. So take a deep breathe and remember everything will be fine.

This quote talks about love in which we put someone else's needs before our priorities, one is willing to do anything for the other person. This love is boundless. But, what I also want to add is self love is very important. At times we give someone such high value in our heart that we totally forget ourselves, our needs, desires, dreams etc. Love should lead to growth. The love where only one person is giving and is willing to do anything is not right. Love yoursel...
