about facing ourselves for real !
Today I looked in the mirror,
as I do every day.

Something was different,
something I couldn't say.
I stood there looking,
then it came to me as clear as my face.

Today was different in so many ways,
in that mirror I saw ME for the first time,
staring back from there.

Today I didn't see my face,
I didn't see my eyes,
I saw deep inside.

I saw the feelings that were hidden,
breaking out finally opening up wide.
I saw them so neatly engolf my eyes,
feelings I had so desperately had to hide.

Feelings I wanted to define,
yet fear had me trying to confine.
I knew I had to put them in there place,
or I would never be able to look myself in the face.

I took one feeling at a time,
anymore would have been terrifying.
I looked them up and down,
then I left them out to shine.

I left them unhidden,
for all to view to share my feelings,
with all of you!

Today in my mirror I saw a new view,
Today in my mirror I saw feelings instead of lies,
how about YOU!
