Reflecting

freestanding

Reflecting   Deep is the core of inner character That we have yet to meet And sometimes we elude it Is it for some reason or forgotten lore? That we choose to remember never more Let us not tread the shallow water For fear we may drown In the facade of outer surroundings when we place our feet on hollow ground Let us not stand the inner structure Where the foundation should be Shatter the rock first before it reaches the glass For the reflection you see Comes from within By Mauricio Montoya

I will now agree that the answer to our questions are only deep inside. I remember Johari's Windows. Maybe there are times that you know something that others don't know; or you don't know something that other's know; or you both know; or you both don't know.
We just need time to reflect...
Thanks for sharing.

[Poetic Beauty]

The inner core of a person is the most important part. If the core is rotten then the whole being is decaying slowly and spreads to the smallest of cells. This is a great piece that makes you think about how we should be and how we reflect to ourselves in the mirror. If you don't like what you see then change it for the better. Love the wording and the flow of this piece with the grand statement of being the best person you can be inside and out.

inner character seems defiant to the reasons of anyone but oneself. the inevitable truth is solidarity has a greater light than what one can possible achieve within itself. i believe human selfishness, a conceitful disease that has to do with everything mankind made itself to be and societies fathomless indefinite approach to true individualism is the truth behind
in every aspiration why apathy has a place in our hearts and mind despite our differences.
