The Mirror

Take a look into the mirror, 
and tell me what you see; 
Do you like the person, 
that is looking back at thee? 

Do you see true tenderness, 
in this persons eyes? 
Or do you dread the things you see, 
under cover of disguise? 

For mirrors they will not lie, 
or cover up the truth; 
Regaurdless of your race, 
your gender or your youth. 

So take a look into the mirror, 
and tell me what you see. 
Is the person in the mirror, 
all you wish to be?

Very nice... and true mirrors can show what is on the outside but only you really know what is on the inside...
