Mirror, What do You See?

I look in the Mirror and I see the biggest distraction staring back at me.

I look shyly into the mirror seeing everything that is not right; its crippling.

I can't seem to breathe in enough air fast enough to keep up with my heart beat.  

I look in the mirror and the biggest distraction is staring at me,

Relentlessly.

There's a light that shimmers in the eye of my distracted mind and that glimmer of hope, fate, whatever it was, saved me.

She is beautiful, She is Kind, She is Patient and she is wise they say, but what she sees no one else would believe.

The mirror reflects the naked truth, the truth we escape from, the truth, we hide from, the truth we neglect, the truth we won't accept.  

But why, willfully accept the lies and deceit the mind tries to feed you.

But why, willfully accept the lies and deceit society tries to feed you.

But why,

But why not, close your eyes and remember why and what

What you were put on this earth to do.

The voices of those who echo your life have no dominion over the things you will do.

Look in the mirror and see a new you.

A you who will transcend above the lies your insecurities feed you.

Take a look in the mirror.
