Reflections

In the mirror

What do I see?

Looking back at me…

I see, I see

I see me,

I am now and forever free

I see in the mirror

Scars and broken wings,

In the mirror looking back at me

I see, I see

I see me

I am now who I always wanted to be

In the mirror

I look and I can see

This person, this one who knew and grew into this woman inside of me

I see, I see

I see me

This light, this smile, this new antiquated happy me

I see in the mirror…

Things of old upon my face

Things the years cannot erase

I see a heart that is fairly charred

I see a woman who works very hard

And all these things I would not replace

Because they will never take the smile that lives forever to fill that space
