My daughter taught me
if you scribble
long enough
on paper
with a pencil
it becomes
a mirror
I saw her make one
turning a blank piece of paper
into
a black graphite hole
except
the hole became reflective
rather than drawing you into it’s darkness
it reflects the light inside you
all that
you truly are
Whole
Giving you that picture
of yourself
as you truly are
without waiting for others
to make a shape for you
And looking back at yourself
you get to see the outline of you
just as you are
