Healing: The Girl In The Mirror Poem by Rare Gem

I was talking to the mirror,
Not because I had no one else to talk to,
But because that was the only thing bold enough
To look me in the eyes and see my true reflection.

The flaws I wished to hide,
The memories I wished to forget
My real self was staring at me.
Eye to eye.

One moment I'm healing,
and the next moment,
the action is repeating itself,
making things feel worse.

My thoughts flowed like a wave,
And my emotions were hot like fire.
I wasn't close to healing,
As though it didn't exist.

I had nowhere to go,
I was going through a lot,
Or maybe a lot was going through me.
I just had to face it.

Happiness always had a way of hiding from me.
I couldn't tell what it meant anymore,
It did feel like a stranger to me.
Which was overwhelming.

I had this opportunity,
Opportunity to heal,
To tame my inner beast.
And to avoid the stings of past traumas.

I keep trying to move forward,
To grow,
To rise above my challenges.
And make my heart a better place for tomorrow.
