Imposter syndrome is strong within me, I am mirror-blind to my own image. If it were not for the #reflection I see in your eyes, I would doubt that I even exist. You make me a better person. Your example raises me to higher levels, as I strive to become who you believe I am.

"Can we attack? No #reflection?"
"No reflection."
"Are you sure it's a mirror and not a window?"
"Once! It happened only once! And it was a very clean window!"

He tried so hard to fit in, but it never took. He was always the outsider. The day he could no longer see his #reflection, he snapped. The rangers came in when the neighboring town reported a putrid smell in the air. They found hundreds of mutilated bodies in a pile in the center of town. #vss365

Seeing only partial #reflection,
but not allowed resentment,
am I?
That would make me wrong,
to look for something,
Thought deserved,
But little more than courtesy.
The worlds in the mirror,
Think only of the images they make,
Caring little about this one.
And why should they?

Remembering fondly
What has passed
Letting go of those things
That do not reflect well
To make room for what will

Nights had run long for weeks now, but, ultimately, day and night were ephemeral concepts when you spent most of your time in space.
Dylan caught the #reflection of his face on one of Magpie’s consoles and mused that it was a good thing he wasn’t in a proper military.
He looked a mess.

Nora kept staring at her #reflection in the mirror. "Are you sure these fake-lashes are not too much? I chose a modest pair." Bob assured her that everyone at the party would love them. She deserved a night of glam.

Endless the chances for life
To insert a timed duration for unhappy
Tis an opportunity missed
Probably ignored for its lack of learning & growth
Yet inner peace cannot always hold fast
Tides & torrents yank out the roots
Toss & tumble the strong as easily as the weak
One survives or drowns

Di #timed it perfectly: spilling her drink to distract the mark, while Em lifted his keys, barely breaking stride. He even came over to offer Di his handkerchief. She discovered the burner phone in her pocket when it rang in the car:
“How long do you need my keys for?”

A nurse came in with a clipboard. "Those are some serious bruises! Can you tell me what happened?"
Greg shrugged. "I was crossing the street and #timed it incorrectly."
"Hit by a car?"
"Parade float."
Her eyes widened. "How? They only go two miles an hour."
He huffed. "Two and a half!"

My chest thumps so light
and I freeze
Lips flicker from a hint of a breeze
Déjà Vu I taste I saw
and I know
We don’t exist we echo
Here and there
Nameless but we know us
Soulmates searching
For unblocked gates
Within an #achievable haze

your every #stripe is real
and unmistakable
each a sorrowful mystery of pain
that was #aching to be released
i count them among my own blessings
even as sin taints their creation
our #goal is shared
one to feel; to punish
to exist when myriad reasons scream
that we needn't

It's a hammer pounding out the time
It's a drumbeat sounding in the jungle
It's a non-stop rat race down to the line
It's a frantic frenzy of freneticism
It's a non-stop series of collisions
Prompts pump out like bullets
Keep us ducking walls of punches
Keep prompt output relevant

Hidden by the shed, Bob aimed for the perfect robin shot. " #Achievable," he whispered, picturing likes on his Facebook bird group. Nora stepped flat‑footed into the garden. "Hey Bob!" she called out when she saw his movements.

There’s a #specific person I’m unhappy with
This person doesn't know this
Why?...Coz
This person doesn't seem to know I exist!
This person doesn't even have me on their top list!
This is why
I am unhappy with this specific person!
Gosh, how tragic!

Rory couldn’t point to anything #specific that brought him back to the game over-and-over, above every other game he had played.
The graphics weren’t the best, there were glitches, some of the quests were boring and the monsters not that varied, but it all worked for him.
It was special.

The #action word was nothing
but vain repetition of yester years and its fabrication.
#immigrants are you from city ?
will your soul leave in village ?
will you leave to south immediately ?
Nobody can plan my life, said maura with a deep sigh but keep dreaming as usual.

my empathy has limits
there is place I cannot inhabit
my mind cannot map
into yours
Don't you know
that loving you
wasn't a choice
or an option?
I just took a breath
and you were in my lungs
then in my blood
so why are there times
my heart aches
for just a kind word
but your lips
are numb
