The girl in the mirror

Inspired by the song, "Beautiful for me" by Nichole Norman

She gazed into the mirror

scrutinizing over every little thing

her flaws, her errors

how she can't sing

Damaging her face with artificial beauty

trying to be perfect

trying to be pretty

She puts on a mask 

to hide her true self

afraid to show her battle scars

how she became this way

A gentle voice whispered

to the girl in the mirror,

"Break free and be everything

I want you to be"

"No more facades and fronts

no more scars and bumps

see yourself in my eyes

and you'll see

you don't need a disguise"

"In me you'll be perfect

in me you'll be brand new

a perfect creation

this I say is true"

The girl in the mirror

broke free from the curse

she knew what God wanted for her

was better

not worst

Being no longer stuck

in her own reflection

gave her self up

for the ultimate perfection

To be in Christ

so perfect

so free

She wanted to live a life

perfectly

eternally

I love it. The purity of honest expression. And through God all things are possible. To love yourself as he loves you is difficult but is needed, wanted by Him. Wonderful 1st poem. Thank you.

[Living_Memories]

Thank you, and you totally understood what I was trying to get at. I wasn't sure if I portrayed that in the poem. I'm glad someone got it.
