Lesson from a friend...
First, look up to the sky
Breathe in and get the energy from it.
Then, look straight to what is in front of you.
 Things might not always look how it seems. 
Sometimes it's flipped or rotated upside down.
Don't worry just yet.
Breathe out, and suck it all in again.
start working things the way you think is right.
 And Voila,
now you can see yourself.
Reflected from a glass pane.
It might not be clear, but that is how you see yourself sometime.
From afar.
 Now you start walking,
seeing the places.
some are welcoming,
others don't.

That time is when you look closer to yourself.
Is it me?
Am I doing it wrong?
The Sun also catches your shadow, 
making you see how your outlines are.
And then, you will ask yourself.
What defines me?
You, me, or them?
