Reflection in the Mirror
by Nathalie Hernandez
After all the pieces of the mirror were broken 
I picked up the pieces and wondered… 
What am I to do with the damage? 
The other side of the mirror told me to pick 
the pieces up and fix them. And so I healed 
the mirror and decided to repair the damage 
focusing on the person in the reflection. 
Damaged or healed—I had to accept 
and love the reflection in the mirror.
