Do you fear
Looking in the mirror
Because of what you might see
Or because of what you tell yourself
Have you ever truly seen
Without judgement
Just with a gentle yet keen eye
And a receptive spirit
Every anxious twitch
By a trembling muscle
Unaccustomed to relaxing
Putting down the mask
Do you fear
Looking in the mirror
Because it might be not enough
Or because it might be too much?
Do you dare to see
Do you dare to be seen
Do you dare to stop fearing
The truth that looks back at you
