A look in the Mirror

March 6, 2015

Well, hello. I go by many names

And only my parents are to blame

But what is in a name

Nothing because I go without shame

In the mirror here is what I see

I see simply me

Who is all I could ever be

I see simply me

My eyes have seen the future

My eyes have watched me mature

My eyes have cried tears

Tears of sadness and joy over the years

I choose not to wear makeup

Not because I fear covering my face up

But because I wouldn't want to deprive anyone of such a treasure

A gift no doubt beyond any measure

You might be thinking after several moments

That wow is she vain for making such comments

Quite the contrary my friend

Here's where the witty humor comes to an end

I'm actually quite shy

I assure you this is no lie

My awkwardness is actually amazing

Just see how quickly my face starts blazing

I laugh a lot throughout the day

Not caring about the negative things people have to say

And really just because I love to be happy

Because who willingly wants to feel crappy

I want to create memories

Ones that can be remembered for centuries

I aspire to make an impact

And not go through life just to react

When I look in the mirror, this is who is who I see

I see simply me

Who is all I ever wish to be

I see a wonderful me
