The Hidden Page ~ The Mirror Lied A Little

There are days the mirror shows you a version of yourself you no longer recognize.

Not because you’ve changed

but because you’ve been hiding in plain sight.

In this episode of The Silent Scribe ~ A Journey with Divya, I open a page that quietly examines the space between self-perception and emotional disconnection. Through my original poem The Mirror Lied a Little, I reflect on the invisible pressure to appear okay even when everything inside feels unsettled.

This is a page for those who’ve kept smiling while feeling like strangers in their own skin… for those who’ve shaped themselves just to be accepted and lost sight of who they truly are.

This page holds space for:

poetry podcast, identity crisis, emotional exhaustion, soft healing, self-reflection, hidden grief, inner numbness, self-worth, gentle introspection, spoken word poetry

Listen if you’ve ever whispered:

I’m tired of being someone I don’t fully understand.
