Life's circumstances change how we see ourselves when we are looking at the mirror. When I was younger I loved looking at my reflection even in the midst of all my physical flaws. I have a very thick hair and I was never the sexy type of girl and yet I love how I look 100%. Now, I barely look at the mirror, like once a day, that is when I'm fixing my look when I go out. There is a certain sadness that creeps up to me when I see the physical changes in me but more than that, I see the mental and emotional side of me and I see how changed a person am I. It's true, we can look at the mirror and barely recognize ourselves.

This poem is just wonderful, because it describes what I feel when I look at the mirror, and more importantly, because it reminds the readers that the most important thing is how we look at ourselves, meaning how we give value to who we are. We need to feel good about ourselves and get over our physical, mental or emotional flaws. Thanks for posting this! Great write!
