Perfect Reflection

Someone once said, "To thine own-self be true
Why is this so hard for us to do?

Why do we sit and shift the blame?
Playing with words like this is a game

Look at the man in the mirror my friend
We must be honest and not pretend
The man in the mirror is looking back at you
A perfect reflection of a person called
You

You may not like that person you see
It is certainly you and not
ME!
