Take a Look

Take a look around you Is it everything you dreamed? Is it what you always wanted? Is it even what you need? Look at your life and how you live it Did it turn out as you liked? Or are you a perfect stranger Living someone else's life? When you see your reflection in the mirror Is it who you want to be? Or is it someone you don't know Is it someone else you see? Do you see yourself as others do? Or do you look inside? Cause if you go by looks alone Shallowness may be your only guide. Next time you look into the mirror Look past everything you see Look deep inside at who you are And who you want to be.

Ciera, The many dimensions to one person make us so many in one. We don't necessarily end up exactly where we planned "each chartered course". Our writings help us "look deep inside" at who we are and who we "want to be". I enjoyed reading this very much indeed. Thanks
