The Beauty That Lies Within

As I look into the mirror
I’m not sure who I see.
Someone’s there looking back
I guess that must be me.

Buried deep within myself
Is someone I don’t know.
Buried by my feelings
That I’m afraid to show.

The outside looks so perfect
As a way to push away.
Any close relations
That often come my way.

The reflection in the mirror
Is of who I am right now.
If I want to change myself
I’ll have to figure how.

Eyes are staring back at me
With the secrets to my soul.
Letting someone in my life
Is definitely my goal.

The beauty that I hold inside
Is a treasure in itself.
What I really need to do
Is simply love myself.
