No Mirrors for the Monks

at the monastery on the hill nearby
where I go on sunday morning
there are no mirrors in the restroom
could it be they think if you see yourself
it will bring the world into Gods territory
what is wrong with what I look like
I have already altered it
to satisfy the world
I have already altered my being
to satisfy the world
I am what it expects I fit in
God loves us just as we are
why is it so hard for the world
or ourselves
to love us just the way we are
the only adornment we need is our soul
we don't need mirrors to see it
