THE MIRROR

The mirror used to reflect something I didn’t see as beautiful

Parts and Pieces yes

Not the whole face

Not the whole me

Even with your reflection starring back at me

I saw you, beautiful

I’m your daughter

Your image

Your reflection

Then there’s me and those on my face

Those stupid spots

Reminding me daily of a condition I didn’t ask for

Would never wish for

Or want in any form

But isn’t that bad physically

Occasionally messes with me physically and emotionally

on occasion

I wonder why I was made this way

I rarely saw my own beauty I posses

And the beauty of you passed on to me

Truth is that was when I was younger

Honestly, as an adult I still have my moments

It wasn’t that long ago where I opened the medicine cabinet

so I wouldn’t have to look in the mirror

There’s even been two opportunities where I could have changed

that one “flaw”

But the cons out way the pros and I’m learning to live with me

Learning to live with me

Learning to love my reflection

I see you in the mirror daily

I must apologize to you my Mother

For not recognizing the beauty in me that is you passed on to me

I must and do apologize to the Father as well for he created me in HIS IMAGE

That’s what the Bible tells me

If you so then thinking negatively about myself is disrespecting him.

God’s not ugly. His reflection and image is beautiful

My mother was far from it

She was stunning to me

Still is in my heart and dreams

I am who I am

And who I am is a reflection of you

The image of him

And that’s beautiful to me

The mirror reflects that beauty now

What’s starring back now is me

Beautiful, Sexy, Confident me
