Running From One's Mirror

Running From One's Mirror 

Looking thru one's mirror, Do

You see any changes? Do you

Recognize oneself? Some say

The eyes are one's mirror to their

Soul. Why it appears you're running

The mirror? Do you like what's within

Yourself? What are you running from?

Betrayal,  Lies, Pain.

Comfort often keeps one in bondage,

How did one get here? Why be so bitter?

Running from the Mirror  within oneself.

Birds sings after storms, Why shouldn't 

You?

One will be tested by character,  awareness

Through trials and Tribulations. 

Happiness dwells within the soul, look

Closely at one's mirror and smile at

Yourself and you will soon see a 

Difference in the bleakest seasons,

Choose more resilience.
