MEMORIES

THE MIRROR

I looked in the mirror

in my darken room

I see the flickering light from a single candle

allowing me to read deep into my eyes

and love the woman that stands before me.

The woman of the past

that seemed to break the old stained glass

and to the woman, I have become

to love who I am

and the child I once was.

I except all my mistakes

and I had to learn from them

I bleed from those mistakes

I wept in deep sorrow

I didn't know if there was going to be tomorrow.

I now can look the beast in the eyes

and see the beauty of me...

I love who I am from the past

and from the now,

the past I would never change

because I won't be this beautiful queen

that is standing before me.
