Reflection

I feel like Mulan

Looking at my reflection


Yet it's not someone I know


When we look into a mirror


We're supposed to see ourselves


But that's not what I'm looking at


What I see is someone disoriented


Disorganized


Lazy


Depressed


And someone that's not trying her best


With her mood switching every hour


From tired to mad

From mad to sad


With not even a hint of being glad


The person I know is not afraid to speak out


Not afraid to have fun


She just does everything without thinking about it


Or overthinking about it


No


The reflection


It's scared


It's confused


It's anxious


I guess I can't be Mulan


Because my reflection really does show who I am inside


Maybe I wasn't who I thought I was
