put a muzzle on it

Ultimately I control myself.

But life is quite a beast to try and tame.

I am chained down by sad thoughts. 

Mirrors don't seem to reflect beauty.

Life does not control me, but it manipulates the way I experience the world.

My eyes have been blind to the natural wonder that is my body.

I have been deaf to all the positive words spoken.

Life has yet to let me taste the flavors of confidence and happiness.

Today I have discovered that though I am chained, I also have the keys.

And that the mirror has only been in need of cleaning.

Do not let life's bark frighten you.

You are the only one that decides how its bite affects you.

So put a muzzle on it.
