Look This Way

if I
contemplated
what I am
than expressed
how I am
could you see past
where I am
and believe in
who I am
well…
when will that be?
because I’ve been waiting
for you to grow the ability
to accept me
for me
but if you can’t get away from
your mirror
how will you ever
be comfortable
looking into mine?
