Mirror Images

A small foot I had placed in the world A few years ago innocent I was Lead a world that I was made to live By the people who loved me Never stopped to see where I was heading Nor whether what I did was what I really wanted

Each year passed and I grew up Seing an image of myself in the mirror Never really looked at myself in the way I do now The mirror would show me a person that others saw Never a true identity,it was undefined

Staring at the mirror for hrs all I could see Was the depth of my lonliness The doubt in my eye of who I am A question why nobody looked at me Somewhere somehow I was lost

As years passed by …I grew Today as I get up in the morning And go to the mirror I look at myself &say “oh how beautiful I am!”

and each day I feel good in my heart not for what I see in the mirror but for the simple reason I see my beauty deep within Ive finally found my true self

That is what I feel makes u Rare and special in the world
