When we look into the
mirror...
We see a reflection of
a living being...
One that floods our
mind with thoughts and moments...
Where time slips away
like its stolen
And memories float
though the corridors of the brain like leaves upon water
Somehow we have come
to believe that we should fight darkness with darkness
All the while we scream
at the image before us...
“I am in pain, and
you put me here...”
Paralyzed by fear that
we have not taken a stand...
Abandonment is given to
unfought battles
While deep within
ourselves great debates are waged over what is right and what is
easy...
Secrets kept have left
scares unhealed
Pushed to the point of
drowning within broken
We call this living
through the pain...
Instead of growing,
learning, and making peace with all that holds us still
We place ourselves
last...
It's forgotten but must
be remembered
You are someone that
everyone else is not
You are the only you...
Find the upside of
down...
Sit and listen to
yourself
Take the time needed
and check in with what you are feeling in the present
Embrace what you need
from life, and throw away the rest...
All of our strength
begins at our weakest point
Eyes forward, stop
looking back to see greater
You are a warrior and a
being of worth
Gracefully broken, but
beautifully standing strong
Life is
transformation...
Be proud and brave...
Dare to be more than
what has been suffered
We are human and we are
trying
Give yourself that
allowance...
By remembering to say
to that image staring back...
“I am still in love
with you...”
Because loving yourself
first...
Is never the wrong
thing to do.
