Incomparable Best

I am shaping how I speak, how I walk, how I dress,
Changing colors, flavors, even my favorite taste, nothing less.

I twist my words, I shift my stance, I play with the light,
All to see if my reflection matches another in sight.

The tone, the laugh, the way I shine on screen,
The wants, the dislikes, the shades in between.

It’s hard to forge a face that’s truly mine,
To stand apart, to draw my own line.

I feel a mirror walking silently beside,
Echoing my moves, my choices, my stride.

It irritates, it lingers, it whispers my flaws,
But I must rise above, without pause.

So here’s the truth for anyone willing to see,
Don’t fear the cracks; they make you free.

Laugh at yourself, at the shadows you cast,
For being adored by imitation never lasts.

Chase your own rhythm, let your colors unfold,
Wear your quirks like a crown of gold.

No mimic, no mirror, no fleeting applause,
Can outshine the brilliance of your incomparable cause.

The best you can be, the ultimate test,
Is the one who is fearless,
unique, and INCOMPARABLE BEST.
