Emotional Eyes

Look deep in a mirror and you may not see

the way your face looks exactly to me.

Now that I’ve said this, what goes through your mind

is how could I see you in a different design?

When you look at your reflection that’s in the mirror

you have emotional eyes showing things that you fear,

things that have been ingrained in your brain

from a life of emotions that brings your eyes pain.

They tell you each day that you’re getting old,

and never forget the bad things you’ve been told.

Things like you’re stupid, fat, or you’re ugly.

Emotional eyes are a Curse, don’t you see?

It’s hard to overcome these illusions of self.

They can hurt your life and hinder your health.

I suppose the best thing that you can do

is to Love Yourself and see the Real You.
