The Mirror & Me - A dedication

Historically - What did I see when I look in the mirror at me?

Reminding me of what I didn’t want to see

Critical and self loathing –frustration of me

Never loving anything that I saw within me

Or attempting to analyse how I could change the view I see

I focused on the failures, the attempts, fear

Hating the attention, eyes upon me

Even those that reflected from me to me

This was the relationship between the mirror and me

Now – What do I see when I look in the mirror at me?

A little more acceptance of ‘the me’ I see

The mirror more practical than it’s ever been

Application of make up and the hair to boot

Brushing my teeth while humming to a tune

Knowing that I feel more comfortable with me

Eyes – my eyes are still judging me

But I value more the mirror and me

Future – What will I see when I look in the mirror at me?

A very important person in my life once asked

What do I see when I look in the mirror at me?

My answer on reflection made me see

How badly I had valued ME

Since that day this is what I see when I look in the mirror at me…

I see the man of my life standing next to me

I love myself and how the mirror reflects my happiness back at me

I look at my eyes and the reflection of how I feel

Brushing my teeth, humming a tune a dance move or two

I know who I am, what I feel and where I want to go

I love the man standing beside me and his eyes gazing upon me

The mirror and me finally agree……………
