I look into the mirror,
what is it that I see?
So many things bundled into one,
and that's what makes me, me.

There's some things,
I just can't understand.
But then there's so many,
that I can.

I have two hands I use to touch,
and a heart I use to love.
Two eyes made out of motivation and trust,
and a spirit like a dove.

Two ears I use to listen,
to anything they will.
And a happiness that surrounds me,
no matter how I feel.

Sometimes there is a sadness,
that's very rarely here.
And sometimes there is a hurt,
that might bring a tear.

Sometimes I can't find courage,
bravery or skill.
But that will never stop me,
I'll keep going, I will.

But most of all,
I see me.
The same person,
that I'm so happy to be.

Never give up on yourself,
no matter how bad it feels.
We all pull through it sometime,
and that is a deal.


The moral of this poem-don't give up, ever.  Go stand in front of a mirror and point out all the good things about yourself.  I guarantee you'll feel better.  Go out and help someone that might have it a little worse than you-they probably feel the same way.

Thank you all for your awesome replies.  I decided to write this because most poems in this forum are said or depressing.  We need to put a little more happiness here!!!  Keep up the great work!

most impressive.

you are,
by far,
one the happiest people i've met.
i mean,
both IRL,
and the people on the net!
--------------

believe it or not it takes a lot to be happy. you have a gift to see that and share it. i like the line:
Two eyes made out of motivation and trust
i wondered what eyes were made out of. =)
keep it up!< !signature-->

We all got our demons.
We all got somethin' to atone for.

This is such a happy and uplifting poem.  I hope that those who do not have much self confidence read this and go look in a mirror.  Great work.  This made my day
