Mirror Mirror

Reflective thought won't let you get far

To me you've been one impressive celestial star

Look at me and you will see

A person also trying to be free

We seem to come from the same mold

Caring, giving and understanding it's been told

Seeing life through your eyes

Hasn't been a real surprise

Don't be ashamed there is no one to blame

In time you'll know what's good for you

Maybe it will be me, once your feelings are true

Friendships important to me

As you can see

Take the time to work through your emotions

And in time you will se all the devotion

A friend has a lot to offer someone like you

Sharing moments of joy and when you are feeling blue

Through the looking glass, scares your inner spirit

Twisting your head, throwing you into a raging fit

Learn to like yourself for who you surely are

Would enrich your life and help you go far

Stop the mirror from reflecting negatively

And keep your friendships through eternity

Stop gambling and you will see!

Mirror, mirror.

The poet here looks into mirror and realizes their reflection for the first time.  This compulsive gambler is on the road to recovery.  Seeing who you are as a person and understanding who you can be seems to help the compulsive gambler recover from their addiction.
