Look At Yourself In The Mirror Twice

Look at yourself in the mirror twice I am not telling you to be a narcissist Look again, please ignore the racists You're good looking, you're gorgeous You are unique, you are very different Don't compare yourself with the ant Don't compare yourself with Aphrodite Don't compare yourself with Dionysus You are beautiful, you are gorgeous You're who you are: very dark or light You're special. Cherish what you have And thank God daily for the problems That you don't have, for the vile blames That you're not accused of. Thrive, thrive Do your best. Be your best. Be proper Be clean and smell good all the time Look at yourself, that's not a crime The mirror loves your pause, your figure Do your best, nobody looks better Than you. Look at your smile, your cheeks You're special. You're like Apollo, Adonis You're gorgeous. Ignore the vile critiques You're as special as Hera, Eros or Olympus You're yourself, you're a wonderful person Be your best friend, your prettiest weapon Be yourself in the splendor of the mirror And enjoy the divine gift of Mother Nature.
