Absolutely—here’s a poem titled “Why I Am Always Looking in the Mirror” based on your piece, echoing the depth and transformation at its core:
Why I Am Always Looking in the Mirror
(A poem on the journey of self-transformation)
I look into the mirror—not for vanity’s grace,
But to trace the shifting outlines of my face.
Not the skin, the eyes, or lines that grow near—
But the soul behind them, whispering clear.
For deep within this silent stare,
Lives the tale of change—raw and rare.
A spark once lit from restless ache,
A need to rise, to shed, to wake.
First came awareness, sharp as a knife,
A knowing that something was missing from life.
Then desire—burning, bold, and bright,
A yearning that kept me awake at night.
Knowledge followed, pages turned slow,
New ways of thinking I’d yet to know.
I gathered truths like stones in a stream,
Built bridges from fear to half-formed dreams.
Then came ability, shaky but true,
Where thoughts became things I dared to do.
Each step forward reshaped the clay,
Of the self I sculpt, day by day.
Reinforcement now keeps me aligned,
A weaving of new habits into the spine.
This isn’t a phase or fleeting disguise—
It’s the soul learning how to rise.
Psychology lends its guiding hand,
Explaining what hearts might misunderstand.
That thoughts can change, and so can fate,
And healing comes, though sometimes late.
Some find hope in positive light,
In virtues hidden just out of sight.
Some chase growth in the face of despair,
Becoming whole with every prayer.
But it’s not all will and inner flame—
Our world plays a part in this changing game.
Supportive friends or a quiet room,
Can nurture the seed or seal its doom.
The journey asks: What do you seek?
Do you dare be bold, do you dare be meek?
Will you face the voice that says “not yet,”
And meet it with faith instead of regret?
You’ll stumble, sure. You’ll doubt, you’ll fall—
But failure is part of the rising call.
Be patient, be kind, keep walking the slope,
Transformation is stitched with threads of hope.
So I look in the mirror—not to admire,
But to witness the soul that walks through fire.
Not to mourn what once might have been,
But to greet the one I’m becoming within.
