Backwards Mirror
If you could see yourself
for what you are to others,
a backwards mirror-
would you be any different?
Some show us our worst side,
others compliment our good,
and of those latter-
do we and can we apreciate it?
And how about that bad side,
the stuff we try to ignore-
it makes us ourselves,
people we come to see.
If you can see yourself
without help from us,
confident on your own
through your own mirror,
I respect and admire that.
Just another old one, still trying to improve.
