I glanced in the mirror,
Only who did I see?
None other than me,
After a blink to focus,
I plainly see it is not me,
All I see is my biggest enemy
My inner me is my biggest enemy!
Why can't it just let me be?!
Screaming self-doubt,
Deafening me with fear,
Perfection is demanded,
Even though it's never near,
My harshest judge and cruelest jury,
Is my biggest enemy
My inner me is my biggest enemy!
Why can't it just let me be?!
I wanna look and see me,
But it's a wish that'll never be,
My inner me is my biggest enemy!
I fear it will never let me be!

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.
