Reflections in the mirror
all I can see

is that what you have left behind

tattered, worn, with no beauty left inside,
no...I can not run from the mirror...
and no longer can I hide.

I try to stare past
into what used to be...

but reflections in the mirror
are all that I can see....

I really adore the truth in this, the honesty.

Thank you.

Donna...Your true reflection is the one from your heart, and I see nothing but kindness & grace. That other mirror reflects only what he wants you to see. Throw it away.
Take Care....Paul

After lots of soul-searching, and lots of tears, all of that, and time, it gets better. I hope you heal speedy.
Love,
Terri~

So sad, but so efficiently expressed.

Look deeper, past the past and past the pain ... your radiance shines through, promise!

Love, Margherita

mirrors have a habit, by design, of not being able to look into the past...only into the now...

nicely done...

SE I do know that you know.
You know how much I enjoy Tobies music
and today I think the fav line stuck in my head is
"I'm getting by but the truth is I'm still
standing knee deep in yesterdays rain..."
ah...sing it Toby.
too.

It's better than I could have planned..
it's made me who I am...

Toby Keith...Nancy asks?
Donna...you are a survivor...
and you've come a long long way...
There is a beautiful lady in the mirror
looking back at you.
~Smiles & Heart Hugs, Nancy~

(smiles) Oh Donna, I usually don't listen to country music (though I absolutely love the Dixie Chicks) but I've heard about Toby Keith and this is a beautifully inspired poem, sweet friend, I love it, you always write with heart, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Donna, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
