Stranger in the Mirror

Stroke, cancer and diseases can change a person's appearance drastically. This I have experienced first hand.

STRANGER IN THE MIRROR Looking into the mirror and what do I see, I do not recognize the person Staring back at me. The illness and pain have Changed me immensely, I can feel it all so intensely. I cannot believe the image I see Actually is a New Me. I'm guessing acceptance is the key Since I am unable to afford Re-constructive surgery. I so miss the old me and how I use to be. Would it be best To put the old me to rest? It is just so unsettling to see This stranger looking back at me.

I enjoyed "Stranger in the Mirror" because it could be about getting older, recovering from a sickness, re-inventing or repackaging ourselves or whatever. Thanks it was quite inspirational.

He (God) Gave Me Gift Of MISERY----

You Must Learn To Make Best Of What You Have Got Left!!

In Face Of MISERY You (I) Must Not Look In Mirror-But Look In(To) Myself...

Your Just Rewards Are Not Of In This Evil World...

Interesting observation, but the real you still resides inside and needs to surface again. So sorry for all you have endured, but you are now a survivor. God bless...

Be always safe,
Karen

Powerful eloquence!
When life unravels it is very painful, and I understand this. Your writing is sure to teach others compassion.
Blessings,
Christine
