Reflected

I tried so hard    to reach his heart.
It's time consuming   It isn't worth it
Let's forget    all about him
I deserve    much better.

Once I thought    there's no harm    in trying too hard,
Now I know    everything    has exceptions.
Love is one of the things that backfire.
Now I know I'm someone    without him
                                    - My dignity is back!

Stop trying-
I stop trying to be the woman in him.
And I start breathing    the child in me.
I need some spaces    in searching my soul.

I need to find the one in me.
I need to know who my mirror    reflected.
Forget about people's expectations;
Today I breathe for my decisions.

Today I breathe for my dignity.
Today I celebrate    I'm set free.

I thought these images were amazing... especially the reflective one... really says a lot.
