Refelction

A reflection is a funny thing.
No matter how you look at it, it will always look back at you the same.
No matter how much you want it to change it never will.
You will always be you unless you change you.
But what fun would that be?
There have been times when I didn’t want to be me.
A time when I hated the reflection I would see.
As I got older it still wasn’t easy.
But I have come to love myself.
My reflection is now my favorite thing I see.
I hope one day you’ll love you, and everything you have come to be.
Take a deep breath and look in the mirror.
There is your destiny!

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
