Mirror Mirror make me Tall

Tall Mirrors - I loved. 

The way it made you feel when you look into it.
A complete reflection of who you are.

I was someone with confidence and displayed it without trying to.
I was made aware by others that I possessed it and I embraced it at ease.

As I now stare at my mirror not looking straight into it, I think back on why I got this custom made 5 foot mirror.
There was a reason that I loved it - a reason I had forgotten.

I was never afraid to see myself the way I was.
But lately I have shied myself from the mirror.

I lost my confidence by merely believing that I don't have it.
I was harsh on myself emotionally, believing I am far from perfect.
I had distanced myself from the beautiful mirror that once made me smile
I had forgotten that I had to see through my soul too and not just others'
After all, I did believe that if you didn't love yourself you couldn't love the world.

So I stood up and looked at the mirror.
All I had to do was to dust it along with my mind.
