I LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND WHO DO I SEE
WHO IS THIS PERSON LOOKING AT ME
IS THIS THE PERSON I WANT TO BE
IS THIS A HAPPY FACE THAT I SEE
OR IS THIS THE PERSON THAT I’VE BECOME
FROM THE CHOICES I’VE MADE TO PLEASE SOMEONE
IS THIS A FACE WITH WHICH I’M PLEASED
OR A FACE THAT IS CRYING OUT, HELP ME PLEASE
IS THIS MY FACE FULL OF ANGER AND PAIN
IS THIS MY FACE THAT LOOKS SO DRAINED
IS THIS MY FACE WITH THOSE PUFFY RED EYES
FROM ALL OF THE TEARS THAT I HAVE CRIED
WELL NOW THAT I SEE WHAT I DON’T LIKE
IT’S TIME TO STAND UP AND BEGIN TO FIGHT
A HELL OF A BATTLE IS COMING I SEE
FOR THIS BATTLE IS GOING TO BE ME AGAINST ME
I MUST FIGHT THESE BELIEFS THAT KEEP ME DOWN
SO A SMILE’S ON MY FACE INSTEAD OF A FROWN
I MUST FIGURE OUT HOW I REALLY FEEL
AND WITH THESE FEELINGS LEARN TO DEAL
I MUST MAKE MYSELF HAPPY FOR NO ONE ELSE CAN
SO I DECIDED TO SIT DOWN AND WRITE OUT THIS PLAN
THIS BATTLE WITH SELF MUST START RIGHT AWAY
SO HERE’S WHAT I’LL DO TO BE HAPPY EACH DAY
I’LL TAKE TIME FOR ME EVERY DAY
I’LL SIT AND READ OR PITTLE AWAY
I’LL TAKE A HOT BATH OR GO FOR A WALK
OR SIT WITH A FRIEND AND HAVE A NICE TALK
SOME MIGHT CALL ME SELFISH FOR BEING THIS WAY
BUT IT’S TIME TO PLEASE ME STARTING TODAY
I HAVE THIS RIGHT I FINALLY SEEE
THIS RIGHT TO BE WHAT I WANT TO BE
I STILL LOVE MY FAMILY I STILL LOVE MY FRIENDS
BUT TO BE HAPPY I MUST DEFEND
MY RIGHTS AS A PERSON, MY RIGHT TO MY LIFE
MY RIGHT TO MAKE CHOICES CONCERNING MY LIFE
I’M GOING TO MAKE MY LIFE THE BEST I CAN FOR ME
AND IF YOU CAN’T ACCEPT THAT, THEN WHAT MUST BE MUST BE
IT’S FINALLY TIME I LOVE MYSELF, IT’S FINALLY TIME FOR ME
AND NOW WHEN I LOOK IN THE MIRROR, IT’S A SMILE I SEE

Dear Al,
I really enjoyed your poem. You are absolutely correct Al! Did you know the Bible even says to: Love your neighbor as YOURSELF! You have to love yourself first, and then you're able to love others. That's not being selfish either, that's just using good common sense.
I loved your poem.
