To the girl in the mirror

sadkw33n

The pain i hide in me, it must remain untold 

Cause some people will not understand at all

Only my closest friends know of the secret that i hold

And they gently reach for me whenever i fall

They couldn't love me better, but i have to do my part

Grab their hand but use my own legs to stand back up

So i say to the girl looking at me in the mirror

As i lay my armour down and the scars couldn't be clearer

 

"If i learn how then I'll love you in every way 

I promise you that i will save you one day

I'll find a way to heal all your nasty scars 

And i will put together all your broken parts 

And if you fall I'll do my best to pick you up

I'll light a candle if your eyes only see dark 

And if the voice that says you're not enough gets loud

Then I'll scream louder of your worth and drown its sound"

 

They say the doorway to your soul is your own eyes

Mine are red and tired from all the sleepless nights

But that doesn't mean that i am not going to fight 

Though some discourage me with sharpened words and lies 

And if the times i fall amount to ninety nine 

Then I'm going to get up one hundred times

There's no shame in feeling weak because you fell 

I look at the mirror and i say to that girl

 

"If i learn how then I'll love you in every way 

I promise you that i will save you one day

I'll find a way to heal all your nasty scars 

And i will put together all your broken parts 

And if you fall I'll do my best to pick you up

I'll light a candle if your eyes only see dark 

And if the voice that says you're not enough gets loud

Then I'll scream louder of your worth and drown its sound

 

I know it's hard but try to have a little faith 

I'm coming for you, so, a bit longer, wait

I'll learn to love you through the people who have cared 

I'm coming for you so just find a comfy chair"

    Personal battles are the hardest. I love this, both as a poem but also as a blueprint for survival. Thank you for sharing.

      Never get upset over failure, it's the pointer to success. Never think everyone else is better off than you, they're not. No baby ever ran, so small steps it is, and before you know it, you've arrived.

        That's right! We should keep trying our best because that's really all we can do. There is no shame in being weak, the shame is in staying weak. As my uncle always says "Just take baby steps".

        These lines are so motivational! Indeed it is very difficult to accept ourselves and love us for who we are. A very long journey to heal our selves, we ll get there someday, don't you worry!
