Man behind the Mirror (Who Am I?)
A description of a mirror is seen to be more of one associated with a female, forgetting that mirrors give one the true reflection of themselves. It shows you the person behind those branded clothes, the person behind that favorite cologne of yours and those face creams that hide away those scars that have left even more bigger scars within that man that smiles; simply because he is due to always be strong; strong for others more than strong for himself.
The past few weeks gave birth to a signature tag of “it will end in tears”. Posing a fear of loyalty , true love and true happiness in a relationship. This tag arose of hurt that is a reflection of a painful and unforgettable past in a man’s life; a past where he loved so much but found himself being hurt, all because of greed; greed from a woman that has not gotten to that point where she understands and can interpret love; the true essence of love, rather than a illusion of love that is given birth by materialist given goods. The kind that have no intensive value; goods that find no true happiness being build within an individual. Goods that change the interpretation of the man behind the mirror.
If given a mirror and told to tell the tale of the man behind the mirror; only 4 out of 10 would be ready to face that man whereas 6 out of 10 would be comfortable with dealing with an enemy, simply because they feel a certain muscular value; the kind where a reflection means nothing but just a reflection; forgetting that a reflection gives us direction. Direction to move towards greatness or even failure; all up to an individual. Others even go to the extent of saying that their reflection is based on their surnames; their origination; whereas almost 60% of men grow up fatherless; with a reflection or an identity of a successful, strong and motivated man behind the mirror when they look directly into it rather than a man that took a decision to be absent and to not care. A man that too knows nothing of the man behind his mirror, because the reality is if he did, he’d be raising you to be a man that you can look into the mirror and be proud of rather than a man in denial, in need of yourself in another person.
Yes, society too plays a huge role in the psychological trap of preaching that as a man you are to be like your dad, reflect him, but then a question arises that: how do you reflect someone when you were born to be someone else? When you have a different belief, different dreams, different mindset? Even twins born just minutes away from each other reflect differently in the mirror so why would a man so many years older than you, reflect you? Its time to wake up and smell the coffee because yes, he might not be around due to his decision or even due to him being taken away due to any type of occurrence that ended his life, but reality is you need to find yourself, find yourself outside of pain, outside of your scars, outside of all the negativity uttered by your mother and others and outside of him; find you, be you and live you. Find the man behind the mirror and if you don’t like what you see, find ways to change him, find ways to be better and find ways to see better and live better. Reflect no one else but yourself because
you are unique in your own way; fatherless or not, scarred or not. Be the man behind the mirror that you will be proud of; a reflection of positivity, success and love.
