If you were a stranger
Someone new among the old
And you happened upon yourself
What would you think

Would you like the you
You see
Would this stranger
Like who you are  

Would you befriend yourself
Or just continue on  
Would you happen a glance
At this person passing by

If you got to know yourself
Hear your secrets
Told aloud
How would you hear them

Would you learn to love yourself
Or would there only be detest
If you made friends with yourself
Would the friendship last

If you had to love yourself
Could you do it
If you had to see yourself through others eyes
What would you see
"The thing is, at the end of the day you still have to face yourself."
Dave Pelzer
