MIRROR
I was afraid of you
since childhood,
afraid to see myself
in a piece of mirror.
They told me it’s a sin
to see myself often,
and I heard this from those
who didn’t know how to love themselves.
I started loving you
the moment I smiled at you,
suddenly I realized
that’s how life is too.
Life is a mirror itself,
so speak kind words to it,
every good and bad that we see in others
we have it within ourselves.
People are all mirrors,
where we see ourselves.
