When I Look In The Mirror!!!🌹

The facade stares right back At me...

So many barricades And compartments And my eyes look deeply Inside of me.. Down the path way Of many years...

Many tears And this view From the mirror.

Is not me at all Hidden beneath O And tucked away in silence Is me...

The real me....

I trace the lines deftly Back to the times of ache Of loneliness...

The tears that fall The light that dims The hope that fails...

I cast aside the reflections Of dark shadows...

I allow the sweet healing Of tender strength.

Of holding on.

Of breaking thru' I have walked into life I will live it to the fullest...

When I look in the mirror Surely..

I am more than skin-deep My worth is buried deeper...

Far deeper Like rubies far deeper...
