Mirror-

When you forgive your imperfections
And you've auctioned all your clothes
And you look to see your true reflection
You will be the one who loves you the most
You will be the one who loves you the most
You will be the one who loves you the most 


The agony of knowing and facing self seems overwhelming at times
We know our vices and shortcomings once we begin to implode
That is just the beginning- Self awareness is merely the tip of the ice berg.
After awareness comes recognition and ownership
Acceptance and forgiveness
Attempts to change and massive failures in our initial attempts
Continued awareness and powerlessness over changing ingrained patterns
Perseverance
Commitment
Success and some more failures too
Knowledge when you are stuck and desire to change but sometimes you don't know how
Trial and error
Tears- oh so many tears
Blame, shame.....

And then one day-
Hopefully soon
It will happen
True acceptance
True forgiveness
Truth
It will happen one day
TRUTH and you will be okay and you will be at peace

Mirror mirror on the wall
Who is fairer than them all
The pot or the kettle black
Shall I hide in my own shack
Or will you hide me today in yours
Sitting blind in the dark
Shall I point a finger at you today
Even as the other three
Are all pointing back at me
To whom shall I lie today
To you, to them, or to me?

Mirrors never tell a lie it reflects watever it sees as it is, coz they cant think. so who can think is deemed to commit a fault(Its not in ref to ur post)

If you approach your Self to blame and censure, then it will be agonizing. Approach your Self for the strength you know that is there. Remind yourself of your inner core everyday. Count your qualities, focus on them, and they will expand to the point that the black hole will shrink and become quite imperceptible.
