The Mirror

The mirror smacked me in the face,

Living in a mind controlled shelled case.

Emotions suppressed so deep,

the climb up was going to be pretty steep.

So, I took a chance and let you in,

You encouraged me to change all the sin.

I was hurting in a world of toxicity and chaos,

But, your love was the voice that showed me grace.

When shame started to boil inside me,

You reminded me, whole is what my eyes should see.

And, when the guilt was holding me back,

I learned how not to lash out and constantly attack.

I learned how to be mindful and forgivable,

The greatest lesson was to love myself unconditional.

It is you who takes the shattered and broken,

And transforms us to live life and reopen.
