have you ever looked in the mirror?

not just glanced at your reflection

the image of how you look to the rest of the world

have you ever really looked?

simply taken time out of your day

to gaze into your own eyes

and wonder how you perceive yourself

have you ever just done that?

just looked into the mirror and seen yourself

as you truly are

reflections are distorted, darling

and mirrors are only deceiving if you simply glance

but images are truth, and honesty

and what you see in a mirror is beautiful

all you need to do is believe that it is

and open your eyes
