Mirror Mirror
Happy is the person who can look themselves in the eye,
equally accepting faults and virtues without attempting to deny,
yet somehow we've got in in our minds that to be less than perfect is perverse
even as we're taught that pride is tantamount to a curse.
Eccentric is the person who can thrive within their truth,
horribly, though, it's a skill almost never found in youth.

great read and evocative of
patience is a virtue
posses it if you can
seldom found in women
and never in a man

Hard to except ourselves with all the imperfections. Your poem is spot on about it. Well done.
Not sure if it was intentional, but if it was, nice use of homonyms; very funny XD
