Borne From Within

Mirror, mirror, on the wall....

Nary a day pass,
I do not seek your advice.
Withholding nothing.
You highlight my imperfections.
They are boundless.
A cacophony of regret.

Critique,
laced with kindness,
though none undeserved.
Ponderous,
I turn to you.
The load only grows.

Is it self-mutilation?
For what do I search?
You are but a reflection.
How can you judge?

I trust your assessment.
It's borne from within.

Objective by nature,
yet only in theory.
You seem to only whisper,
what I already know.

Oh gosh am crying for you write so beautifully from the depth of your soul. You have the ability to make people think and feel deeply about our very humanness and inability to recognise our true innate inner beauty and therefore making us question ourselves and our connectedness to all that is time and again. Such talent should be encouraged.
Thank you.

Thank you! I'm flattered ;)

The idea for this one is great. I agree with Jacob, this sounds like a conversation that one would have with his/her own conciousness. Brightly colored and introspective. Nicely done.

Thank you!

i really like this...it seems to me a conversation with self---

our conscience whispers to us, it's born from within.

really nicely worded gem here.
