I looked in the mirror
and I was startled to see someone looking back at me
I loked away, frightened and overwhelmed
but soon returned, in awe at this discovery
I looked into the mirror and saw Me,
for the first time.
I looked, and I saw my tears,
and was moved by what I saw,
and I cried with myself,
and I felt compassion and love
I looked, and I saw my laughter,
and I saw that it belonged to me,
and my spirit danced in happiness,
and I felt tender awe and joy
I looked into the deepness of my eyes and saw
what I've only ever heard anyone speak about.
I looked into the mirror,
and loved the girl that was me.

Loving yourself is the key to love others. I loved the spirit in that poem. Keep your pen active.
