Looking Glass Self

‘Every whisper that escapes the lips

Is accompanied with a fear that runs all over.’

What started out as a piece written for a recitation spurred into a series of poems; a medium of expressing opinions and emotions.

Looking Glass Self is a collection of 40 poems that hopes to instil a burning questioning in its readers. It questions existing beliefs and ideals and is a journey of introspection; each step undertaken with the willingness to muddy the waters. It speaks of reading between the lines and sullying already murky paths.

After all, beauty is only skin deep.

‘They say that the pen is mightier than the sword,

However, I believe that thought is the true overlord.’
