The man in the glass

by unknown author, Scorpio - Not entered

When you get what you want 
in your struggle for yourself
and the world makes you king for the day,

Just go to the mirror and look at yourself
and see what that man has to say.

For it is'nt your father or mother or friends
who judgment upon you must pass,
the fellow whose verdict counts most in your life 
is the one staring back from the glass.

Some people might think your a straight-shooting chum 
and call you a wonderful guy.
But the man in the glass says you're only a bum 
if you can't look him straight in the eye.

He's the fellow to please never mind all the rest,
for he's with you clear to the end
and you've passed your most dangerous test 
if the guy in the glass is your friend.

You may fool the whole world down the pathway of life
and get pats on the back as you pass
but your final reward will be heartache and tears 
if you've cheated the man in the glass!!!!!

Reason for writing:

    Life is to short to be something that your not, BE YOURSELF 
BECAUSE NO CAN BE YOU BETTER!!!!!
