I like it as it is
image in the mirror
soul that shines through
and the ticking mind
which sees and interprets
Yet, I need to fix it every day
renew, rebuild, restore
to just keep going
without slipping back
or falling in decay
No, it ain’t broke
yet hauls me
out of my skin every day
to see from outside
to act and prevent
Creative Experiments and More 
Lovely voice in this poem! Thanks for sharing 🙂

In a sense most adages are focused on self reflection…I like how you used them nicely that way in this write.
