Before I managed

 

To escape

 

And found myself

 

I was a mere reflection 

 

In a mirror

 

On someone else’s shelf

    Clever my friend this turnabout word which had me working out what it meant before I read your verse. Finding oneself seems to need facing forward and inward after that jump off the shelf eh .......... will try that today......... x

        Short, sweet and a powerful message. From ocean to ocean, from sea to sea. I found, there's only one me.

        • Neville

          Pathos! I thought i'd found myself long ago but only recently it dawned on me that at last i really have.

          Your piece today is very clever, thought provoking and downright funny all at the same time. Top marks mate. Into my fav's.

          • Neville

            thank you sir and kindly.. I am truly honoured...

            A fine write N. I saw myself coming back from town one day, before I had even got there. Same sort of thing, or am I spouting rubbish?! heehee.

            • Neville

              Nah.. you are making perfect sense.... N... almost forgot.. thanks O..

              • orchidee

                Thanks N. I first read the title a 'Not it self-er'. Geddit?!

                Such a lot said in so few words. I don’t think I have quite left that shelf yet. Need to though

                Thank you for this thought provoking clever short. Sometimes our very selves are staring right into our faces.

                I liked this, thank you

                    Simply grateful and true 😎

                    That reflection does not show the real you that others see, and the one we see writes these clever words.
