Objects In The Mirror

When you look in the mirror

Who do you really see?

A stranger, someone you used to know?

Or the strong individual you always wanted to be?

Perhaps you lost yourself along the way

But look closely, your inner child is still within you

Waiting to be set free

If you give yourself space and time

That reflection will go from "Somebody" to "Me"

Looking into those eyes

The one staring back at you

Smile, blow a kiss or two

Show up for yourself today

Love yourself the way

You were always too scared to

Just like the image mimicking you

We are all reflections of the self-beliefs

Our minds internally hold to be true

Objects in the mirror

Might be closer than they appear

Like the dreams and aspirations

You were born with yet were too blurry or unclear

Know it’s okay to not have all the answers

You just have to take that one leap of faith

Beyond your insecurities and tears

To build the kinetic momentum

That will break down all your walls of fear

The person in the mirror

Is so much more incredible

Than you could even comprehend

More than the best of friends

Greater than any achievement

Or materialistic metric the world could ever expend

You are not an object

That can be confined to the limits of

Items that will ultimately end

You are infinite, invaluable

Your life will soar as high as you allow it to ascend

You are magnificent

A unique, one-of-a-kind being

Whose soul and spirit will forever transcend

When you start to nitpick

Or criticize the one who’s looking back

Remember - you are perfect simply by being

We are all born completely into this world

Not from a place of lack

That individuality is something to celebrate

Think of everything you’ve gone through and learned

Imagine it in a huge stack

A purpose we discover along the way

Revealed by our passions, interests

And areas for which we have a knack

Your mirror will always show you

Who you believe you are

Don’t judge yourself

Like a book and its cover

Or a stranger from afar

You must understand

Your worth is more than your appearance, status or your car

As you write your story each and every day

Look at yourself with the attitude of

A half-full mason jar

Always growing and optimistic

Proud of every experience

You’ve lived through so far

Be that hero you always looked up to

Be the star of your own memoir
