Reverse Poem: READ TOP TO BOTTOM, THEN FROM BOTTOM TO TOP.

(Read top to bottom, then bottom to top)

Are you proud of who you are?

I always think,

Because whenever I look at you,

Honesty does exist within you.

Nothing could ever make me believe that

You aren't strong-willed enough to correct your ways.

And no matter what,

I deserve to be treated with respect.

I am aware and don't require a reminder that

This is who you are inside; how you truly manifest.

I have no doubt in my heart that

You are someone I can trust.

I won't tell myself a lie by saying

You're selfish and careless; your truth travels sideways.

Because with each passing day, I can confidently say,

You're admirable and deserving of praise.

So don't fool yourself into believing that

You're a fraud, consumed by your own deceitful ways.

(Now, read from bottom to top …)
