i cant tell if i like this one or not but its def a poem


to see myself in the mirror

 is to no longer see myself

i see the hopes that my mother had 

for her children

 in the mirror

i see the dreams 

of her second generation

 born here

the hopes that one will succeed

 if they work

hard

painfully 

in unbearable ways 

and they do

and they dont 

and i see her

in my eyes

which i could no longer bare

as i am as foggy as a mirror

as i am less than what they are

we no longer share the same experiences 

as we once did

and i am the fog in the glass

and she is the one looking into the mirror
