When you look in the mirror
Who do you see?
Is it the person you feel you are
Or what others tell you to be?
Do you ever feel good enough?
Or even able to cope?
Do the opinions of others
Diminish your hope?
When the darkness of night
Shades the sunshine of day
Can you be honest with the image
Or do you still look away?
Next time you look in that mirror
Accept the image that you see
Build on the truth in that light
And just allow yourself
To be

A nicely expressed writing)) I especially like the mention of the sunshine
And the last lines
Build on the truth in that light
And just allow yourself
To be
A good poem

Kindly suggesting shows strength of demeanor. Not all possess that grace but even so , not all mannered people can write and convey imperatives gently as you certainly do. Your phrases dance large while the words within wiggle so they can claim separate and special status as they dwell
In the structure they build. t
