mirrored morning

when we wake up

we think of ourselves as beautiful, successful, the best

when we see ourselves in the mirror we see a few wrinkles and remember that we are no one in a big organization

when we pull on our clothes, we feel confident again

when we step on the train and someone bumps us without saying excuse me we feel small again

we arrive at the office and a junior member of the team asks us for our opinion and they love it. we feel big again

in the morning meeting they present it and our boss hates it that junior teammate will think twice before asking us again

big and small big and small

until one day we wake up and feel just right
