Array ( [sid] => 63267 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Look clearly in the mirror [time] => 2004-09-10 15:58:56 [hometext] => This is aimed at the man who nearly broke me [bodytext] => Can you look at yourself in the mirror?
Past the face and into your true soul?
Is the image blurry or getting clearer?
Do yourself clearly and as a whole?

Is the person staring back at you what you want to see?
Is that even close to who you eventually want to be?
See yourself for what you truly are,
Look closely never from afar.

You may be full of imperfections and flaws,
But know of all of them, you are the cause,
You may be filled with the lies and deceit of your past,
Spiralling around your heart and soul quickly, fast.

You may be haunted by the things you can’t change,
The people you stole emotions from but never to exchange,
As a person I know you feel incomplete,
Holding onto peoples love with lies and deceit.


Even if you don’t see yourself clearly I finally do,
You watch and judge us and want us all to you, be true.
Your reflection is nothing but contorted,
Someone who sees themselves unclearly and distorted.

I want to look in the mirror see my reflection,
Every Flaw and every imperfection,
But I want to also see all the good in my heart,
That is where from now on I am going to start.

Awesome job. You raise a lot of questions, but I would try not asking as many questions and instead stating what you feel, and let the reader ask himself those things. Again, good job.
