tell me what the mirror said
first thing this morning
how do I look flaws faced
i'm perfect really does not make sound
I can't say what it said
but all I know is a reflection
a reflection for how quiet
it's taken looking in telescopes
standing still and deep breaths
all strolls and no scrolls
mistakes not shown online
spontaneous ways we see
tell me what the mirror hasn't told
I listed off every one
it can't tell what I'm good at
or show me ways to improve
hello are you still there
one thing is always true
I can't tell you how to look
or what looks good on you
reflected back at me today
someone who has good days
someone who learns from bad ones
it takes time to love an image
find the beauty in our present
