I am a queen
People may see you differently than what you think of yourself

In the mirror
there is a pretty girl
Why
Is she looking at me?
A reflection they say.
What is that?
Me, that must be.
In the mirror
A queen is what I see.
That's me
Whose reflection that must be.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Oh wow, this was extremely empowering! It worked so well both forwards and in reverse! Loved your poem!
I like how the poem and picture match perfectly, and your words bring it life nicely. The musing of the speaker on how they see themselves is a powerful message for people today- to find the positives, and they beauty in ourselves. Nice😊 Good luck in the challenge!
Beautiful! Good luck!
