Forgive the Man in the Mirror

Forgiving yourself!

 

Forgive the Man in the Mirror

 

What a b*****d!  Look at him, won’t even meet my eye

From the guilty look on his face,

he must have done something so horrendous,

he can never be forgiven!  If I could tell him,

but he’ll never listen to me, I’d tell him to give himself a break,

that forgiving oneself is often the hardest thing

I love this. It's so true. We all have times where we hate the person we see in the mirror. I love that instead of it being an outside person it is an inner persona speaking about the person who is looking into the mirror in disgust. This is excellent. Great Job.

Thanks Mary!

Very true. I would love to see this scenario, a man who's own reflection is guilty of the man looking in the mirror. To never face one's own guilt because of shame. If that made any sense at all. :)

And I think people are demonic in some way. We just hide it well.

Sort of a twist on 'The Picture of Dorian Gray'; I sort of agree with your last point, for everyone but me; I'm a perfect angel; lol!

Loved that story. I remember reading that back in second grade. I thought it was nice to attack age obsessed people. Dorian Gray is cool. And a perfect angel, huh? Aw, you're even cooler now. :)

[Michael Stevens]

Well, maybe not PERFECT!

When one sees a differently personality of one's self in a mirror, it's not right. Mirror's reflect what's before it, if not it's demonic.

I don't THINK I'm demonic; but what do I know!

[Junert]

You are certainly not demonic neither do I believe you actually see a different persona in your mirror. You'd scared if you did.

[Michael Stevens]

Yeah, if I looked in the mirror and saw some freaky dude, I'd say, "Say, there's a freaky dude in my bathroom!"

[Junert]

Hahaha

[Michael Stevens]

Yeah, but you're a girl!
