Poem
A true mirror would reflect you truly without omission or apology; It would bring to the shore your shadow and show you fully. After burning down your flesh and melting down your bones, the high fences holding you in, a true mirror would set you free! A true mirror would leave minds in awe of the fullness of your supposed 'emptiness' It would echo your strength when feeling weak. It would paint to perfection the kindness of your hips, The gentleness of your waist, And the patience of your eyes. A true mirror would break the chains holding you A true mirror would shine light on the compassion of your arms, How you pick up your sister when she’s all trodden down, beaten up and losing hope. It would write your words on clouds and like a permanent photograph lift them high as they heal, build up, and say to your brother; You can do anything and be everything you want! To you there are not limits A true mirror would unclip your wings and let you soar. A true mirror would reveal you truly, as you are – a god reflecting God! Unstoppably Unshakably and undeniably restoring the world! So go ahead and break the glass on the wall Smash it on the floor and burn the box Erase the lies you were told and set yourself free! You’re not just tall bones, dark skin and sad eyes You're not pain and frustration You’re not another human walking the earth to fault and fight You’re a god reflecting God! Unstoppably Unshakably and undeniably restoring the world! A true mirror would tell you no lie It would show you exactly as you are meant to be, It would speak to you in the voice of thunder Frightening the sleep in your mind and scream loud in your heart You are a goddam god, now wake up!
