uncertain of the reflection that gazes back at her through the mirrorÂ
those eyes no longer look like a pool of honey
more like a pond full of sorrowsÂ
you will seeÂ
she feels uneasy as the traces of her fingers meet the glassÂ
wondering if they will ever meet again
or will she continue to be haunted by her past?Â
you will seeÂ
an ongoing search for someone she no longer knowsÂ
the frustration that fuels her bodyÂ
it sends her screaming hoping she will find that somebody
she never envisioned this being a part of her pathÂ
unleashing the wrath that has paralyzed herÂ
the grief, the abandonment, the betrayal, the fearÂ
you will seeÂ
freedom awaits her outside these hollow walls
releasing the firm grip she has on her past selfÂ
she slowly lets go of that mask and nothing can hold her backÂ
you will see
a spark ignites in her eyesÂ
as she forgives and embraces her past selfÂ
the heaviness in her chest is slowly lifted
she glances over to the mirror and is met with a reflection staring back at her
yet, this time it’s someone she recognizes for the first time in a long time
she is freeÂ
