The Mirror

Who Am I?

Standing in front of the mirror you see yourself

A lifeless, soulless, intangible being

You aren’t really standing in front of the mirror

You haven’t been me

You’re not honest with friends, family, and more importantly yourself.

Instead, you lie about being some sort of paragon

Hoping to gain acceptance

Within your friends, family, and society

That’s bullshit and you know it!

Why are you afraid of showing the world me?

Why is it every time you speak, I must keep quiet?

Are you frightened that people will not accept me?

Anger…I feel it in you

Prove me wrong!

Prove to me that you are who you say you are!

Touch my hand,

If the mirror doesn’t break, you are who you say you are

However,

If it breaks, each piece of glass represents a lie that you are

Sometimes the hardest thing to do is to look clearly at oneself and to accept the person that htey see looking back at them in the mirror..what I would tell them is..If God made you..You are not junk....Valentine

Ahh introspection...our visions will become clear only when we can look into our own heart.
He who looks outside, dreams; He who looks inside, awakens. Knowing ourselves is the beginning of all wisdom
