dont ever enter a mirror shop
unless you are hard of sight
and have gallons of self esteem
me i wouldnt dream of walking inside
they line up in an unyielding row
reflective glass across, below and above
they love to expose your imperfections
those mirror eyes they terrorise you
piercing and testing from every angle
and if you walk in with your head parallel to the ground
it will soon dangle down
and if you take one home
it will break you before you get a chance
to smash its taunting glass
no id pass right by the mirror shop
dont let it explode you with doubt
blind their eyes, for your souls protection
internalise its deep reflection
see yourself from the inside out

..and you don't really see yourself UNTIL you see yourself from the inside out! Good job on this one! Great message expressed through good abstract images.
