Mirror No More

When others use me as a mirror,
Reflecting their own pain and fear,
I choose not to react or fight,
But to shine with my own inner light.

Their negativity I won't embrace,
Instead, I'll hold my own space,
I won't let them bring me down,
Or let their words become my crown.

I'll be a mirror of self-love,
Reflecting light from above,
Choosing positivity and grace,
No matter what they say or face.

For I am strong and I am free,
And I won't let them define me,
I'll choose to rise above the fray,
And be the light that guides my way.
