Fighting 4 My Soul

Looking in the mirror 
I  saw an image it was clear.
 I told my reflection 
you are loved and shed tear

No longer prisoner to shame,
I watched my shoulders slowly rise.
The person that I dared to name
Now gazed back with gentler eyes.

In that moment of pure grace,
The walls I'd built began to fall.
Years of doubt left without trace,
As self-compassion filled the hall.

The mirror held more truth than glass,
A portal to my wounded core.
The strength I needed came at last,
From words I should have said before.

The bravest act of love of all  healing
 starts so small, A whisper when 
the world grows still.
