When i look in the mirror what do i see A lovely dark-skinned girl, empty without a father's touch Knowledge....... of a man who hurt her so much, searching for a reflection that doesn't reflect the real me, living in denial of the image staring back at she lost....... A lonely girl with no where to turn, no one to miss her , no one to yearn. she searches for a face that resembles her own something to tell her she's not alone blurry...... Its not always as clear as she wants it to be sometimes you have to dig more than others to find that 'somebody' for doubt comes in the form of shadows unseen confusion...... she shakes her head not believing what it means, "you can run but you cant hide" says the reflection back to she "stand and face you in me" dawning....... she stops to look and stare, amazed by the person glowing in the there, she's not so bad afterall, but the realization is key the differece is that now she finally believes free....... to accept who she is and all she will be so that the next time she looks in the mirror she knows what she sees. |

The "mirror effect" looks good on you!  It once was suggested to me that I look in a mirror and to be as good to the person that was reflected back at me, as I am to others. I was to love and appreciate her for she is a friend who will be with me for life. It was an amazing exercise, and I have continued to do it from time to time whenever I need reminding that I am unique and that I am special and that I am worthy of love and respect. " amazed by the person glowing in the there, she's not so bad afteral" ~ Be not amazed, Dear One! God bless you!  EA |

" she searches for a face that resembles her own something to tell her she's not alone" Very touching write. I'm so glad that the reflection has value now. ((hugs)) |
