For as long as I’m alive
People told me how to look
What to do and what to wear
How to behave by the book
Yet here I am alone
Nobody to consult in case of doubt
No one for a quick check
Or give me some honest feedback
Who am I without a mirror?
A canvas ready to be painted
Using a pallet rich with dreams unbound
In every stroke my essence found
I am the artist
I paint my life
With colors of courrage
Hues of passion, love and light
The mirror’s gone
yet now I see
In freedom’s arms
I’m truly me
