When you get what you want in your struggle for self
And the world makes you Queen or King for a day,
Just go to a mirror & look At yourself, & see what
THAT Person has to say..
For it isn't your father, mother , husband or wife
whose judgement upon you Must pass,
The one whose verdict counts the most..
Is the one Staring back From the Glass.
Some people may think, your a straight Shooting
Person,& call you a wonderful girl or guy,
But the one in the Glass says your only A bum
If you can't Look at yourself straight in the eye.
The person I speak of is the one to please
Never mind all the rest,
for that is the person who is with you no matter what
& if that person is your honest friend..
you've just passed your most difficult test.
You may fool the whole world Down your pathway
of years, & get pats on the back as you pass..
But your final reward will be the heartaches & tears
If you've cheated
The One in the glass.
