The Man in the Mirror

There’s someone in your mirror, who lives there every day.

You use him to trim and set your face and your hair,

You never really look to see how he's feeling...

But he really knows you well, even though you don’t care to look and see.

You will be working with him today.

Go up to him without your usual tasks,

Catch him unawares and say "hullo!"

Look him in the eye and see what he feels.

Tell him you want to get to know him better,

Tell him you want to be his friend.

Look to see his reaction, maintain eye contact to the end.

Don't let the fear and mistrust you see stop you,

Keep telling him you want to be his friend until you can see,

The belief and trust in his eye.

Then tell him what your goal is, until you can see,

The belief and trust in his eye.

Then tell him you love him, until you can see,

The belief and trust in his eye.

Then tell him that you will never leave him, never ignore him,

Ever again, until you can see,

The belief and trust in his eye.

You can tell him anything you want to achieve,

Anything you want to be, until you can see,

The belief and trust in his eye.

Then indeed, you will have made a friend,

A friend of the man in the mirror.

When its time to go, make sure you do it with care,

Let him know gently that you need to go, that you will be back,

Sometime soon…… to talk with the man in the mirror.
