Looking in the mirror
I smile at what I see.
Dark brown eyes, bright shining smile,
curved shaped figure and long flowing hair.
When I look in the mirror, I'm proud of what I see.
But it hasnt alwasy been this way.
I would look in the mirror
and hated what i saw.
Eyes red and puffy with dark circles under.
Streaks down my cheek from nights of crying.
I couldnt look in the mirror.
because I saw every pound , every scar and every imperfection.
My eyes lost their sparkel
my smile lost its glow.
I wouldnt look in the mirror
because i couldnt lie to the person looking back at me.
My reflection knew who I had become.
I never thought i could walk by a mirror and smile.
but you helped me break free.
gave me confence to love me
Thank you!
