Mirror

I always wag a finger at the mirror
saying, you really ought to stand up for yourself
but then I take my own advice and answer,
if I want to cave and cower and let them use me
why, that's only for me to decide!, and I can
if I want to. So there! And the mirror wins
because even though its advice is no good
I keep going back and offering it some more.
