welcome back

all the struggle of the person I used to be was not to be the person I am now.

Found a song from a few months ago
Took me the dreams i used to dream
I looked at the mirror and
Saw her eyes
With anger and scream

Where was she
She wouldn't give up the war
after a single defeat
Was she dead
No i saw her in the mirror, i swear

She was offended to God,
and when her faith in him was broken,
she gave up everything
Forget what she used to fight for
But I saw her in the mirror, it was her eyes

All the left hands left the battle
She lost the election
And moved to the country side
But it wasn't her
She lost the way very soon

Now I saw her in the mirror
With all the faith and anger
She is still a bitter after all the answers
But she is still alive
I see her in the mirror

An amazing write of seeing all the devastation which one has gone through and barely recognising themselves in the mirror. A very emotive and poignant write, well penned and expressed. It takes time to come to terms and grips with events in our lives, dear poetess. I admire the lady in the mirror, her strength, her tenacity, all she has suffered etc. She will heal and her faith will be restored. I have no doubt about that! She is a woman and only a woman could fight as she has and still be standing afterwards, bless her. Lovely work, dear Berenongur. A privilege to read and thank you for sharing it...

It is difficult to accept that you do not know yourself anymore, and the best way to try to know yourself is to write, thank you for being supportive in this process. I too need the support of that woman in the mirror and poetry provides this. Your interest is very important

Self reflection and motivation to be what you want to be. there's always you in you that can be transcend the times to be what you be beyond more. I like the deep thoughts here and the way you exhort the thought that person is not lost but is still there very much alive. Thanks for sharing this wonderful write. best wishes, Abhi.
