Never Trust a Mirror

Never Trust a Mirror by Erin Hanson

Never trust a mirror,
For the mirror always lies,
It makes you think that all your worth,
Can be seen from the outside.
Never trust a mirror,
It only shows you skin deep,
You can't see how your eyelids flutter,
When you're drifting off to sleep,
It doesn't show you what he sees,
When you're only being you,
Or how your eyes just light up,
When you're loving what you do,
It doesn't capture when your smiling,
Where no one else can see,
And your reflection cannot tell you,
Everything you mean to me,
Never trust a mirror,
For it only shows your skin,
And if you think that it dictates your worth,
It's time you looked within.
-e.h

Never trust a mirror for its only your reflection, the person who inside you is the one who brings out your being. It starts with the things that are inside your heart. Skin grows old but you can always be young at heart. Things that matter to your heart never fade, never get old, are always valuable and worth keeping. Often the small things that we take for granted are the ones we miss the most when time and place becomes different. Love is everything. And when you do things you love to do, it gets a lot better and you appreciate it more. Don't get lost in a society where what's pleasing to their eyes and ears becomes important. And don't get discouraged when they say you don't belong. You are your own person, you don't need any of them. Don't ruin your day or your life because you get stuck with one thing. Know your worth and be it. Smile and be grateful. Life is too short, don't waste it, accept yourself, love yourself, and be yourself.
