Mirror and Me

Historically What did I see when I look in the mirror at me? Reminding me of what I didn’t want to see Critical and self loathing –frustration of me Never loving anything that I saw within me Or attempting to analyse how I could change the view I see I focused on the failures, the attempts, fear Hating the attention, eyes upon me Even those that reflected from me to me This was the relationship between the mirror and me Now What do I see when I look in the mirror at me? A little more acceptance of ‘the me’ I see The mirror more practical than it’s ever been Application of make up and the hair to boot Brushing my teeth while humming to a tune Knowing that I feel more comfortable with me Eyes – my eyes are still judging me But I value more the mirror and me Future What will I see when I look in the mirror at me? A very important person in my life once asked What do I see when I look in the mirror at me? My answer on reflection made me see How badly I had valued ME Since that day this is what I see when I look in the mirror at me… I see the man of my life standing next to me I love myself and how the mirror reflects my happiness back at me I look at my eyes and the reflection of how I feel Brushing my teeth, humming a tune a dance move or two I know who I am, what I feel and where I want to go I love the man standing beside me and his eyes gazing upon me The mirror and me finally agree……………
