Fake Reflection

As I stand in front of a mirror, I see what everyone sees.

An ordinary person just going through life.

That reflection of my body doesn’t show the damage inside.

I suffer from invisible illnesses that nobody sees.

The hurt, the devastated, emotional and scared mind, body and soul.

It’s easy to judge by looking but take the time to hear my battle story before you make a decision.

Take the time to talk as until you do, you will never see what I’ve been through and still going through.

You may never know if someone has an Invisible disability or illness.

Please don’t judge me from my reflection.

Thanks for sharing. This is how I feel as a person with depression, social anxiety, and high functioning autism. I don't know if that's what this is alluding to, but I can relate.

I suffer from complex illnesses and a few invisible illnesses and what urged me to write it. I hope this reflects how we feel.

Wow! Big message. I can't relate to it all. I fight my background and baggage every single day but you can win at this. You will have more self confidence and feel better overall. Good luck on your journey!

Thank you. We as a community must fight and stand together to educate others. I find we are all inspirational because we all have our own battles to fight but as a community we become united in strength. Positive Vibes your way :)

This is great writing, Danny. I haven't seen poems like this one in a very long time-- on the internet or in a book.

Thank you Danny I fully relate to this and think what you have written is amazing and obviously I don't know what it is that effects you but I have 2 invisible illnesses but I know I am on the borderline of another 2. This is because I have uncontrolled epilepsy and have many seizures every month, I have memory problems and also where I can't have children but am trying to beat this and have ivf, this is why I am losing weight. Another problem I am trying to stop is letting myself getting depression because I am fighting this as hard as I can as epilepsy problems alone can cause this. But with all other problems I have it is getting harder and harder every day. I also have a friend with depression who always phones me with her problems but this don't help me at all. None of these things can be seen but they all affect me in different ways. Hope whatever your problems are that things go well for you and definitely don't get worse. Good luck with all your journeys.
