Magic Mirror

Oh to see myself as others see me!

I know that might mean seeing things that are painful, but it would also allow me a chance to see what others value in me.

I thought about using a magic mirror, but I have a tendency to see what I expect or want to see rather than what is right there in front of me.  And the truth is that much of what I want to see is not physical. 

I want a picture of my soul, a picture of my mind, of my personality.  I want to see the person inside, the one that others see.

I want to read my work with your eyes, hear my voice with your ears and be able to accept it for just what it is.

Magic mirrors can't do that, but you can.

Be my mirror.  Be the reflection I can trust and turn to when everything else fails me.
