The Day I looked In The Mirror
Everyday we look in the mirror
The mirror’s our friend,
arch enemy,
biggest supporter
one to make you cry, sigh, rely on a reflection...
The mirror’s our reflection

Most times we look in the mirror more than we reflect
Reflection brings out the real you
Y
O
U..you
When you reflect you understand what you see in the mirror
That a piece of glass could say so much
hint at so much
remind of so much
change so much
do so much
The Day I looked in the mirror
I for once didnt just see strands of frizzy unruly hair stacked on top of each other
I didnt see an outfit that wasnt good enough, cool enough, hip enough
I didnt see the pimple on the top of my left eyebrow
Or the smudged makeup under my right eye
I saw sad eyes
I saw mistakes
I saw change waiting to happen but needed to be acted upon
I saw a future
The Day I looked in the mirror was the day I didnt just see my
R
E

N..Reflection
But the day I reflected on what I saw.
