mirroring reflections

61 7 1
                                    

Go and look at yourself in the mirror;
Tell me, what do you see?

We are not defined by our appearance,
Self- worth is so much more than that.

So don't tell me you aren't pretty or striking or remotely beautiful.
Don't tell me you are ugly and wish you had a different body

Because I cannot and simply will not agree.

When opened up we are all the same inside;
Same organs, same blood, same anatomy.
So why are we measuring ourselves based on an insignificant reflection?

I don't care what skin colour, eye colour, hair colour you have,
We are all equal.

Go look in the mirror...
treat yourself as an equal.
