Mirror

I look in the mirror.

Today has been an exceptionally hard day for me - and I feel I am somehow to blame, have somehow let someone I love down, although logic tells me that it is not so. My head and my heart don't always see the world in the same way.

I look at my reflection.

Every time I think I can fly, my wings are clipped.
Every time I want to sing, someone takes my voice away.
Every time I imagine I have found the personal space in which to write, my mind fills with external noise.

Looking in the mirror I see myself, screaming soundlessly.

When will I find the peace and space I crave so much?
