Looking at our own reflection,
We get lost within ourselves,
Perfecting an outward image,
We seek out every flaw,
What makes us different from the social norm,
What makes us weird.
The flaw that could ruin us all,
Does.
However,
Looking in our own reflection,
We find ourselves
Sculpting our character,
We seek out every flaw,
What makes us different from the social norm,
What makes us special,
The flaw that could ruin us all,
Doesn't.
