The mirror

Someone once told me,
If I am looking for one person to change
My life,
I should look in the mirror,
And change myself.
The reflection I see
In the mirror is not my enemy.
It’s not about my reflection, it’s what I see
Beyond it.
I have never been
At peace with my reflection,
The mirror
Is only glass and I am worth more.
Once I became aware
Of my self reflection,
And had a hard look at it,I know
I am in a better position,
To change things I don’t like.
To improve my life.
I can stop and look at my reflection
In the mirror.
I can’t erase what I don’t like,
It’s not a ghost or horrible monster,
It is me,
Looking back at myself.
At the end of the day,
There are more important things
To worry about
Than my reflection.
I don’t need a perfect reflection
To find the perfection inside myself.
The mirror is only glass,
It cannot
Make me look beautiful.
I have to look beyond
My reflection
To find the beauty that was already
Inside me.
