"Still In Love With You"

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.
