The mirror,

The glass window that points out everything in its view-

The wrinkles, the stretch marks, cellulite, freckles, acne scars, the most beautiful pair of eyes,

The imperfections and the perfections that we fail to see

The qualities that we fail to realize unless we have a digital camera in front of our faces

But we use the mirror to strike a pose and share our bodies with the world,

The mirror points out everything especially at our most vulnerable moments

But again, when was the last time we looked at a mirror and appreciated it for showing us our true selves

We can like what we see in the mirror because the mirror doesn’t hesitate to show us what it likes about us too

The reflection of light and love when we need an ounce of reassurance or a little confidence booster

The one that’s always there when we’re practicing for a big presentation the next day or trying to adjust our hair and our bow ties for a special occasion,

The one that’s there when we say damn I look good,

The mirror says damn right you do!

Yet they’re the ones that get punched and shattered for revealing who we are and the hate they get when we don’t appreciate our truth

Oh how id love to put those pieces back together with a hug

If mirrors could talk I’d say

Mirror mirror on the wall,

You are the fairest of them all <3
