Mirror

Don’t let what you see in a mirror fool you.
For it only shows you what you are not.
“ Mirror , Mirror on the wall, who is the prettiest of all ? ” you might ask.
It will gimmick you and mislead you to what beauty truly is.
A mirror in it’s highest capacity will never tell that you are beautiful when you give a lending hand.
That you are beautiful when you so selflessly sacrificed your time for others.
That you are beautiful , to know that beauty lies from within.
That you are still beautiful when you cry , when you are down and broke and you have nothing but a mind full of thoughts and shattered stories to tell.
And that you are beautiful inside out for all the things you have done,
for all the times you put a smile on someone’s face ,for all the times you wondered whether you are beautiful or not , Never trust a mirror , for it might play games with your heart.
