Reflect
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!
