Feeling like a mirror is hard,
because you feel like you reflect,
everyone’s insecurities back at them,
so no one wants to be around you.
You feel like everyone sees themselves,
in you and nitpicks at you,
and it can bring you down.
You have to remember,
that you are your own person,
and they don’t truly know you.
You are like metal, like fine gold.
Others may see their reflection,
but it does not mean you're them.
You’re golden.

A Glaring Omission
I made peace with being cast out by others pretty early in life. As lonely as it may sound, I don’t recall many times during childhood when those actions affected me any longer than a moment or two. Being deemed the weird/gay/weird gay freak by everyone from neighborhood kids to blood relatives allowed me the privilege of sneaking away whenever I pleased to dive deeper into hobbies that molded the proud pop culture geek and writer I am today.
