Week 34: Mirror, Mirror

Mirror, Mirror
On the Wall -
I need to ask a question -
Please pardon my gall.

What do you see
When you are looking -
Looking back at me?

Am I worth the effort?
The image you see in the reflection;
Or should I just pack it in -
And swallow all of the dejection?

The spirit is willing,
But the flesh - it is weak;
I need a direction to go,
Confirmation is what I seek.

So what do you think,
Mirror on the wall?
My confidence is shot, and
It is so very small.
