My Reflection
My Reflection
By: Gustavo Lequerica
I see my reflection in the mirror
I’m self aware of how I am and how I look,
how I speak and how I live,
I can show a secure image in public
but sometimes I’m insecure about my looks and my voice,
it’s difficult to see the reflection of my mirror
and to reaffirm that I’m not a no one,
it’s difficult sometimes to look myself in the mirror
or even to speak
without feel that I’ve been looked like a strange fellow
by someone who hasn’t seen a Latin American
in Florida or any place of the Americas,
is difficult to show a positive image
because your reflection sometimes betrays you
with a language that is not yours
and is far away from what romanced with,
but you feel home in a place that wasn’t yours
and slowly you start showing that confidence
you had before.
