[specifically made for Jesha Castillon Huang, winner]

stared up the mirror,
oh the little old me grown old,
hope i'm wiser than before,
my first step is foretold.

all around me buzzes,
i hope i tread bravely enough,
revealing my true self with no resist,
my face sunkissed and hands rough.

stared into the glass,
slowly loving my beauty and all flaws,
this is not the end of the track-no rust,
dust of confidence swirls with no cost.

smile, chin up, stand up straight,
radiate self-love above all else,
i hug my own bestie and with faith,
i'll stand firm, the scripture tells.
