What is in that mirror glass


Stand up

Look into that mirror that you praise

For holding the utmost image of beauty

Look at how your reflection changes

 

Who are you today?

You aren’t the same as you were yesterday

You hide yourself in the reflective glass

Like its your barrier to the judgment of the world’s piercing eyes.

 

What’s in that mirrored glass

That is so important,

That you would change yourself in such a way

To make those eyes accept you?

 

My love, I tell you that it is just glass.

A transparent construct the narcissists use to raise themselves.

Look away from the glass, and peer into your vibrant soul

This is who you are

 

So, my love, spread your true image to the world

Let the eyes absorb your radiancy

You aren’t defined by glass

Because you are true beauty.
