Facing the Mirror

Getting back to my soul

 

Distraction is a beautiful thing

Externally extending myself beyond myself to avoid myself

And only visiting me when I absolutely need to check in

Making others happy- impressions are key

“Oh,  she’s accomplished so much”

“You’re such a good person, thanks for helping me!”

But at the end of the day I am here with me

Avoiding the mirror

Trying not to see who I really need to be

 

Living true to myself- my next challenge in life

Every day trying to hear my feeling s and live them

Facing me with all my flaws, bruises and scars

Trying to live better in spite of them

Instead of letting them become my center

A struggle for the ever-present pleaser inside of me

Just dying to take over and become that martyr

Finding balance between and me and the world

An eternal quiet battle inside my head

 

A tea party with a once confident little girl

I look in the mirror every morning

And see my eyes growing with life and newness

Finally I am learning from a myriad of my mistakes

After a long silent spell she is speaking to me again

Oh, sorry… rather I am finally listennnnnnnnnning

Intently- everyday

and I am learning to live true to myself

Holding hands with seven year old me

Embracing and living my desires

Being who I want to be
