As I look into the mirror,
I see nothing but my shell.
It conceals the light within me
and the secrets I don’t tell.
It’s just an image on the wall,
A glimpse of an appearance.
It does not define the spirit inside,
or its purpose of existence.
A reflection does not radiate
the kindness of a heart.
Your body is merely a cavity,
A structure made of art.
Everyone deserves to be loved by
The beauty of their souls.
“Looks” should not make you who you are,
Or control you as a whole.
