AWAY from my REFLECTION is an ILLUSION

When I was a child, I wanted to run away from my reflection but as I run it runs with me,

I tried sometimes to stop it from following me as I thought it was a ghost but the further I tried the more it persisted,

Sometimes it is taller than me, or even shorter but we were never of the same height,

What a demon I guessed,

When there are no rays, it disappears and reappears when the sun is shining,

When I walk, it strolls with me,

If I stand, it does the same,

Then I realized that I cannot let it go but the only option left is to allow it to be,

It is part of my existence,

Later I learned to live with it,

This is how I find it is a good companion,

My reflection is like my problem,

Not having money is my trouble,

Sickness is my discomfort,

Having someone broke my heart is my misery,

Why should the person I love die is my hardship,

And many more of there like is my dilemma,

The more I try to stay away from it, more of it comes my way,

It sometimes seems to file away but comes again when I didn't expect,

It tries to swallow me but I still find my way out,

I am always in combat with it,

Why do you perturb me oh my troublesome trouble?

Why can't you leave me alone to live alone?

These are vain questions,

I can't run away from it but the only thing I ought to do is to learn how to live with it,

When I realized that it is part of life,

I tried to learn how to live with it,

This is how I find peace in life.
