Our inner depth or just the outer glow
It depends on which reflection we wish to see
In the eyes our loved ones or in the waters of the sea
To enhance our physical appearance and beautify our soul
It is on us to make the choice
to worry about wrinkles and scars
Or listen to our inner voice
A reflection can make us improve for with whom we have a love tide
Or supress our identity and push into the thought “Who am I”
It depends on which reflection we wish to see
One in the criticism of loved ones or the one in the advice of strangers which is needlessly free
A reflection can lead us to the path of right
Or can put us on a path without a speck of light
It depends on which reflection we wish to see
In the mirror of the path of darkness
Or the conscience which resides in me
