Mirrors tell no lies.
What you see,
is what you get.
Looking
at the reflection staring back,
I see many things:
I see someone afraid
to be real,
hoping no one noticed
their fears and flaws
of not measuring up
to other's expectations.
I see someone
ready for life's challenges,
yet hesitant
of the changes
it would bring.
Tell me mirror,
what do you see?
"I see," said the mirror,
"a reflection...
reflecting back at me
."
