Reflection

Mirror mirror on the wall
There throughout our life
The smile a missing tooth brought
My childhood memory
How many cracked reflections are there now
Bad diet, low self esteem, unhappiness
A life full of chaos
Hidden flaws that can’t be seen
Mirror mirror on the wall
Some took a wrong turn
See past the cracks and a new reflection appears
When we project chaos, we attract chaos
When we project kindness, we attract kindness

Love the ending, it is indeed true that the more compassion we radiate, the more we receive in return! I think the hardest thing about life is to be ever vigilant. Big life problems are often the result of the cumulative addition of daily bad habits. Like how stich by stich a quilt arises.
