The Originality of You

Mirrored reflections offering dubs losing themselves 
trying to be you
The house full of mirrors was never a home & they're
obsessed with the fact they'll never be you
It's true we're the same on multiple levels, but everyone
needs a sense of the self
Imitation is flattery & that's well and good but there's
no substitute for being yourself
Don't copy another for you are original, learn to love
who you are & follow your purpose
When it's all said & done, you'll always be you regardless 
of the image portrayed on the surface
