Technically, the perception of a poem depends on the experiences of the reader, so please don't let my ideas behind the creation of this poem limit your interpretations. 

Through this piece, I wanted to help all my readers realize that sometimes, the only obstacle standing between you and success is YOU. How many times have you thought "OMG I'm so scared" or "someone else is so much better than me" or "there's no way I can get this right" before you've even attempted something? We can all push ourselves to a whole new level, if we free ourselves from the mirror of our insecurities and step out confidently into the sunshine. It is certainly difficult, but we should all try to rediscover ourselves, instead of being mere trapped reflections of what we could potentially be.
