Look in the mirror, look very hard.

Look for the person your mind may guard

​

Is it the person you truly want to be

Or is it the person only lovely to see. 

​

Cynthia Shaw, 1962

(I've only written one poem in my life, and this is it. 

I wrote it in second grade while I was attending Somerlid Grade School in Pueblo, Colorado.)
