The Person In The Mirror

By Viral Murudkar

 I was looking at the mirror today and noticed something 

and to talk about it now feels like a dumb thing

I saw the person in the mirror was a little different

I looked closer trying to be more observant

the person in the mirror did not look like me anymore

but was it a bad thing, I was not sure

the quiet kid who once looked back at me was talking now

she was very social, and I am not sure how

the shy eyes who couldn't look at me for even a second

were now staring deep into my soul

as the folds of the blindfolds started to unfold

I looked deeper to see the girl who ate her food all alone

but now she had become so strong on her own

I used to walk alone to and from my school

but now people look at me like I was cool

it suddenly felt like the person in the mirror had faded away

but I was becoming a better version of myself every day.
