Reflection

We often find ourselves in a place unfamiliar

Working ourselves into a corner within our minds

And thinking that we are less than we are

We often turn inward and find our own opinion

When we need an objective opinion.

We let our insecurities rule our minds

Triggering irrational thoughts and actions

When we really need to look in a mirror

And see ourselves for who we really are

Searching our faces for the things we cannot see.

There are times we need that outside opinion

That we trust and love beyond measure

To re-focus our view of our own reflection

Sometimes we’re looking in a rippled pool

That obscures who we truly are.

That re-focus on our true reflection is a relief

A change in what we are

A healthy dose of reality that we so greatly need

Because who we are,

A reflection only shows us who we can see

Objectivity is the key to all of this.
