Every minute of the day you lie
Not from others but from your self,
From the truth

Why be by yourself?
Why hide?
The greatest part from you
counts from the inside

Look in a mirror and what do you see?
Just opens your eyes to the bright side
You can be as great as you wanna be
but the only thing stopping it is your words
Not theirs.....

Again, another interesting take on a poem. I think the mirror line provides the best imagery :) Nice job, Erin :)
