Reflections

Eyes are the mirror of the Soul, it´s said
So I stare into my own eyes in the mirror
To see if I can find my Soul reflected there

I see myself reflected endlessly in myself
And I wonder:
Which one of us is the real one?

There are so many reflections
So many aspects of the truth
So many masks to wear and discard

I´m scratching the surface
Digging through accumulated layers of rust
Trying to claw my way to my roots

I´m struggling to find my self
Hidden beneath the thick overgrowth
Of other people´s expectations
