The Empty Echo

You gaze into a lifeless thing

To judge your own complexion

But don't you know by now?

A mirror only shows imperfection

 

You stress about the way you look

'til it becomes an obsession

What's wrong with who you are?

Self loathing just leads to depression

 

The tempered glass is filled with flaws

Concealed from your detection

Why believe what you see?

The reflection hides your perfection

 

--Christian J. Clark
