The Person In the Mirror

Have you ever looked at the mirror?
Who do you see?
You see yourself?
No it's not you.
It's that person you're yet to be,
It's that person you're striving to be.
It's that height you're striving to reach.

When you get there:
Even,when you are purposed:
Being what you want to be:
Achieving that aim that keeps you walking.

Then go back to the mocking mirror,
Don't mind his lousy utterances.

Look at the mirror and say:
'Now,i can see myself!'.
