                         In the




                   Mirror's





                           Gaze


















                        n the mirror’s quiet gaze, I see,            It’s my own fears that hold me back,
                     IA truth unveiled, staring back at me.          My own doubts that lead the attack.
                      In the stillness of the night, I ponder deep,  I see the architect of my own dismay,
                      A truth emerges from the shadow’s keep.        I see the one who leads me astray.
                      No need to venture far and wide,               Throughout my life through joy and woe,
                      The answers dwell within, deep inside.         I see the tangled web I have spun in my psyche.
                      In the search for problems, I find,            Yet I see the one who can make the change,
                      The greatest one is in my mind.                I see the one who can re-arrange.
                      I am the creator of my own tears,              Thread by thread, knot by knot,
                      I am the one who makes me fear.                I will build what’s been torn.
                      I am the one who makes me fraught,             For in the mirror’s quiet gaze, I see,
                      I am the one who makes me doubt.               The power to change, the strength in me.
                      No villain lurks in shadows deep,              Though I may falter, and fall,
                      No foe to conquer, no secrets to keep.         I am the one who can conquer all.
