The Woman in the Mirror

I remember hating you.

I remember allowing you to live in pain.

Thinking you deserve it.

I remember allowing the sadness to swallow you.

I remember wishing to see someone, anyone else.

Thinking it must be easier.

I remember, because it was yesterday.

Today, I look upon your face, and beg you to forget.

I ask you to find it, inside yourself, to be more.

To love.

To find freedom.

Your voice.

To forgive.

To silence the negativity within.

To swallow peace to soothe the pain.

To seek happiness, not distraction.

To see yourself, woman in the mirror,

And be happy for what you see.

I beg you.
