Looking Glass

I stare into the looking glass

And what do I see?

A stranger looking back at me

A face that's not quite me

My eyes are tired, my skin is worn

My hair is dull and gray

I try to smile, but it feels forced

I feel so far away

The looking glass is not my friend

It shows me all my flaws

The lines that trace my every frown

The scars from past applause

But then I pause and take a breath

And look a little closer

I see the kindness in my eyes

The strength that's never over

I see the love that I've received

The laughter I've shared too

I see the person I've become

And all that I've been through

The looking glass may show me faults

But it also shows me grace

The beauty that's within us all

And our unique, perfect place

So, I'll embrace this looking glass

And all that it reveals

For every line and every scar

Is part of what I feel
