I look in the mirror, and wonder who I see... I see a broken woman, yet I can't seem to find me. I meet with the eyes of the woman I destroyed. With all the materialistic things I used to fill her void. I hope one day to just meet with my beautiful face... Without all the disgust, without all the disgrace. From all the past times I gave her away, so just for a moment I could feel possibly okay. I see her body no longer clean and pure... Just because I was looking for her cure. Scars stretch for miles it seems. I stare in disgust... I wish I still could find those young eyes full of gleams. I see handprints all over me... They are there. Even though I'm the only one who can see. From the little ways I defiled myself. Like a "trophy wife" sitting on a shelf. But when I look into that mirror I see a woman of hope. That in her darkest hour, I won't let darkness devour. I won't let her down once more. Her pain I won't ignore. With each "I love you" I tell myself, I see her smile return. With each promise I make to her, she forgets the scars, and passerby marks. She looks happier. Her eyes, returning sparks. That woman in the mirror, I finally recognize. And without guilt, I can once more meet her eyes. I pulled her out of the jaws of man, and hid her away now that I finally can. Now she's free to love herself. She's a beautiful girl and she doesn't need help. My scars, her scars... Are beautiful.
To be able to feel the painful emotions from another poets words is truly amazing, but to feel them and know them like they're your own is something else, as I understand your words and actually feel your pain as I can relate to them I know the hurt all too well, but you are worth it so stand strong with your head held high and be proud of your scars because the past is what's made you who you are
