I got to see me the other day. I was pretty good looking and smiling. I was chatting with strangers and running into old familiar friends. I like me. I am comfortable in my skin. I am confident and hold my back strong. My stride is sure and I have bold posture. People see me coming and smile.
I don't know where I go. I have been there for a long time. I can't find my smile and look angry. I avoided everyone and don't answer the phone or door. I am sad with myself. My skin hurts. The ability to make a decision is completely gone and I am confused and shlumpy. My shoulders droop and I shuffle bent like an old woman. People look right through me. I am invisible when I'm not seeing me.

I was writing to my sister about seeing myself in a different light one day and this just popped out!! Thanks, sis for giving me the outlet to realize that I had seen MYself that day........
I think a lot of people can relate to this. I love the opening line.*
I agree. Great first line!
Love the structure...simple, in two frames, full and empty, an internal dialectic resolved perhaps be the title? Good to see you! *
It's the last line I like!
