Inner Reflection

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.
