Look in the mirror
And make a smile.
But don't stare too long..
Just a little while.
You're not looking for validation
You're looking for kind eyes,
You're now looking with gentleness
You're not looking at your size.
Be true to yourself, you're incomplete without a smile
No matter what thoughts may creep on you, survive this without denial.
Denial that you're beautiful
Denial that you're kind
Denial that you've changed
Denial of a positive mind.
Don't deny the journey you've taken
Or the path you've left behind.
Just focus on the way you're walking
Just focus on yourself this time.
Every mirror you look at isn't all you should see.
Steer clear of the beauty that you hold beneath.
They will write on you with invisible ink and you may see the words they put when the light starts to blink
And the fear of those words might've placed you on a brink but only you hold yourself back because of what you think.
