Reflection

Reflection

Mirror, mirror on the wall
hold me tight, don't let me fall
*
you stand there showing a reflection of me
that's why sometimes I don't like what I see
*
but you are the most honest thing there is
impartial, nonjudgemental, neither hers nor his
*
just an it, distorted only when hit
or abused, unused, I'm often amused
*
because the image you project is so very clear
if you could speak I would lend you an ear
*
and listen to what you said to me
you could tell how much better I can be
*
you could give me advice that I could trust
definately, positively, help for this life is a must
*
for me to follow to the simple tee
above the rest is where I struggle to be
*
but it's hard for a man to stop, slow down, look & listen
it seems so easy to find the problem and put my fist in
*
and then there are too many times I had the wrong things to say
I knew this because my mirror lost her smile, turned, and walked away...
