Honest Reflections

If there is self doubt in this world 
it is because there is lack of self trust.
It is easy enough when a look in the mirror
sees a reflection and knows
skin and eyes are real and true.
Skin, lined or smooth, maps life experience 
certain of ‘not enough’ care and attention.
Reflected eyes without honesty of heart and mind
are clouded windows to the soul.
To scrub away self doubt in this world,
use honest trusting reflection
to cleanse and clear the windows of the soul
to honour the ‘enoughness’ of life experience.

“We always see our worst selves. Our most vulnerable selves.

We need someone else to get close enough to 

tell us we’re wrong. Someone we trust.”

~ David Levithan, Naomi and Ely’s No Kiss List
