'be At Peace With You'

Who are you? If you look in the mirror do you like what you see? Better yet do you love the reflection staring back at you? Are you that man that is always the life of the party? The same one that as soon as he is alone He begins to wonder what the purpose of his life really is. Are you that woman everyone wants to be around? As soon as it turns to night The web of loneliness spins itself so tight around you That you struggle to breathe If you don’t love that person in the mirror You better get to know the real you Not the reflection others see Forget about outsiders’ expectations Look at you Learn to love that reflection in the mirror When you got that down It would be so easy to love every other part of you

Wilma, this is an a wonderful piece. It is true. Lately I haven't been too pleased with the mirror...Just turned 48...boo hoo hoo. I know, it is the inside that should matter....That's the point of your piece. Inner beauty reflects on the outside. Congrats on this poem making it to POTD. Thanks for the visit. Hugs

Your work confronts life and fate in their totality and comes up a winner, suppling a subtle wisdom that is gently distributed throughout. Emile. #7

Strangely, I love myself a lot even though I am not all that wonderful! I love being alone but also love my friends. I think we all need to love ourselves , like that old saying "Ain't nobody happy if mama aint' happy" I love this poem!
