Prof. Pier LeCompte

Poem with songs: Talking to the mirror Wishing to become

those beautiful people,

Listening to Ed Sheeran that are not afraid

I see myself in the mirror of the outcome.

Trying to see the woman

that I want to become. Take me back to London,

“I am perfect”, I said. so I can dream

Just a Galway Girl, of the Tenerife sea,

I’m afraid. so I can be

what I want to see.

I force myself

To move the bad habits I don't care

from my life’s shelf. if I make it rain,

“You need me, for the first time,

I don't need u”, I am thinking out loud

I command you to leave and embracing the pain

without taking the seats. of anxiety burnout.

Opening the window Listening to Ed Sheeran

of my unstable Lego House I see myself in the mirror

I smell the perfect symphony trying to give me love.

of the rain and the soil; I swear to all the stars

 that I will fight

and bring down the night

that is keeping my sun

from my sight.
