Someone needs to lose some weight. Another needs to be more meticulous. Yet another is not thoughtful enough.
We spend most of our time observing the lack of others. But what of our own? They are admittedly difficult to admit.
Yet, we must do so because we cringe when someone else points them out. Haven’t we done the same?
So how do we accept the mirror view of ourselves? Ownership of our flaws is a start., as is listening to suggestions. We’ve to be honest about and reflect on them.

Mirror
On the wall
Are we the
fairest
of all?
Mirror
On the wall
Who owns you
You come
When he calls?
Mirror
On the wall
Do we hear
Your voice
At all?
Mirror
On the wall
We must learn
To take
Each fall.
