Singular Reflection

Singular Reflection

Don’t lose yourself in other people’s opinions of you
Your reflection only stays centered in the mirror as long as
you are in view
Sometimes you must assess and evaluatively esteem your own self-worth
That’s an inside job and I’m telling you not one you should lightly delegate to others or disburse
Step up, or be ousted
Front and center or be overshadowed
And don’t you make a wonderful you?  Selah
