Advice for a Friend

When you're miserable
And overcome by tedium,--
Admire yourself in the mirror!
Like a mermaid,
You emerge from its medium
Like a miracle!

When you're meandering
In and out of the murky memory
Where the mercury's frozen at zero,
Do no listen to the same old melody,--
Admire yourself in the mirror!

When you're serving the final minutes in
The cell of your conscience for some misdemeanor
The majority rules that you're innocent,--
Admire yourself in the mirror!

And when life becomes morbid,
Losing significance,
And your fire burns into an ember,--
May the mirror reflect your magnificence
And illumine the world with its splendor!
