Looking In The Mirror

by Nicole M. - Gemini

Looking in the mirror
What do you see?
Do you see
See your reality-
The essence of you
Or only what you will accept.

Looking in the mirror
Have you done it again and again-
Or all your life
walked right past
Never wanting to look in.

Looking in the mirror
Are you being honest
When you look back
Are you seeing all of you,
Or just the parts you can explain
The ones that fit into
What you've been made into.

Looking in the mirror
What's reflected back?
Are you just pretending it's beauty
Coming back to you?
Is there some ugliness
You refuse?

Looking in the mirror
Who do you see?

The real question is
Can you look yourself in the eyes?
