Mirror

I stood in front of the mirror today,
and for the first time I felt like everything
was going to be okay.
I finally made it out of the shadows,
and stepped into the light.
I said to myself, “Baby girl you’re gonna be alright.”
I feel happy, peaceful, and calm.
Finally I am satisfied.
It took alot for me to reach this point,
Lord knows how hard I tried.
Wanted to give up, I couldn’t go on,
but couldn’t stop, I have to be strong.
I’ve cried many tears,
and broke down from my fears.
But I made it through the pain and sorrow,
and can wake up smiling come tomorrow.
The battle is over,
the struggle is done,
now I can look in the mirror
and say I’ve won.
