A Reflective Point of View

The eyes are a two way mirror reflecting whats seen & behind their glassy stare many things lay hidden We're driven by these invisible things & are passengers in a way on a journey to self discovery Recovery of our identity is imperative as it's just one piece of the puzzle in the narrative Your story is written by the experiences that interact with your being & it's up to you how things are set at the end of your days This maze is an illusion as the straight & narrow path is the only way to reach the destination The accumulation of experiences is what we call life so try to accumulate what you want so everything goes right Despite the appearance of things the ugly parts of life are beautiful teachers It's the ugliness that shows us how to be beautiful in a vain world that only values beauty There's irony in this & we must iron out the wrinkles internally Don't seek shelter from the storm instead convert the rain into steam & train yourself to press forward Sometimes we must go backwards to get a better look at the track that lay ahead Hindsight is 20/20 if you adjust your sights just right & view things as if life is an open book Don't look for the evil in bad things but see what good the bad has to offer Our perspective determines what's viewed as bad in our lives & sometimes perception can be deceptive Look at life as a mirror that shows you what's hidden behind the glass & know it's always full & only empty if you aren't receptive to learning from the past
