Mirror
When I look in the mirror am I the person that I want to be
Am I pretty enough
Am I strong enough
Am I skinny enough
Am I smart enough
Or am I just bleak
Am I the person I want to see
I want to call myself a success, a fighter, a survivor
But, am I any of those things
I strive to be perfect but there is no such thing
I make mistakes
I cry
And sometimes I can't sleep
I tell myself not to give up but sometimes I want to quit
When I look in the mirror am I the person I want to be
I want to prosper in everything that I do
I want to show my brothers that they can make it too
I will achieve for my family and for me
I will not disappoint like the rest that deserted the plan
Stick it out, hold it through, pull it all together
I will uphold the image that I have created
When I look in the mirror I am the person who I want to be

— The End —
