Mirror, Mirror, On The Wall

What do you see when you look in your mirror?
Isn’t it odd how no one else can ever see what we ourselves see?

Do you like what you see?
Do you see what you like
Or what you hate?

Do you see your future
Your present
Or your past?

Do you see your desires
Your hopes, your wishes
Your failures or
Successes?

Does it scare you to think that
No one else sees the loneliness
The longing and the fears?
Does it hurt you to think that
No one else sees the beauty inside?

Do you see the hard line of your lips
‘Neath the softness of your brow?
Do you see the coldness of your eyes
Masked by the warmth of your tears?
Do you look beyond the façade
Of pretty face
Nameless grace?
Could it be the truth
that you fear?

Take a good hard look.
Beware of mirrors that lie.
Look away sometimes, if you must
But don’t be afraid to look anyway
As long as there’s someone there who cares
Beside you
Looking at you,
Looking at yourself.
