I stare at my reflection

In the mirror placed on the wall

Though there are no cracks 

My smile seems to fall


My hair up in a bun

My eyes filled with water

I reach for the tissue 

And the tears fall harder


I used to be so brave

I used to feel so strong

My mind, now so weakened 

And I don’t know what is wrong


The girl I used to be

I no longer know

Changing everyday

It truly shows


The confidence i had

Suddenly Disappeared

Maybe when you left

It caused that great fear


The love I had for you

Will never change

If only the love for myself

Remained the same


The power you had

The hold over me

Made me realize 

We weren't meant to be

 

Letting the time pass

Figuring out my worth

Working on me

Ready for a rebirth


Tears in my eyes

But only for joy

As i pick myself up

Over the loss of a boy

 

I stare at my reflection

In the mirror placed on the wall

No cracks in sight

And a smile so tall


The love for me

Has finally grown

I shall go out

And let it be known

This piece is about finding yourself again after that hard breakup, letting you know that even after it is all done and over with you are still worth more than you may feel in the moment, so work it out and pick yourself back up ALWAYS!
