I’m your soul-mirror
the light
that fills your darkness
the found for your lost
the hope for your despair
I’m your neutral
blanking your negative
expelling it
from your realm of joy
it cannot sustain
I’ll reflect your complexities
so insecurity withers
and fades

There is always the beauty of our own self that don’t change when seeing it every day! We see and derive satisfaction for the looks of the person! Great reflection Rob!
