When I Look In the Mirror

When I look in the mirror a hurt girl is what I see A past of addiction, pain and trauma staring back at me A victim!? No! That I will never be.. But a survivor is what I try to tell the girl staring back at me. When I look in the mirror the words I’ve been told is what I see Crazy, and psycho are just a few they’ve said to me A victim!? No! That I am definitely not But a survivor, I tell myself to give it another shot When I look in the mirror beautiful is not what I see All the other women he likes are staring back at me A victim!? Hell no! That I will never be But I am a survivor- and I’m worthy- but beautiful he will never see When I look in the mirror why the hell do I care what they think of me!? I am beautiful, loving, and caring who care that they don’t see! Becauae when I look into the mirror , I AM ME! and this is who I will always be!
