Mirror

Complimentary

opposites

But we are

just the same

Looking in

the eyes

of my

fraternal twin

Glass

between us

Metal

on one side

Light reflecting

all that's beautiful

but you scoff

at the flaws

I've shown you

everything

you need to be

You've shown me

everything

I need to keep

You need to grow

from the demons

you've swept

underneath

You need to grow

from the things

that you've

hid from all

to see

I need to hold

my love sacred

to my being

I need to hold

my love sacred

for only those who

appreciate it

Not all are

willing to grow

Not all are

willing to hold

However

I am willing

to accept my worth

and hold myself up

as the goddess

that I am

Are you willing

to accept your flaws?

To face yourself

as the human

that you are?

Are you willing

to grow beyond

the flesh on your bones?

I will not wait

to see

If the man

in the mirror

can change

his ways

I've waited

long enough

and my patience

is getting thin

I know my worth

is divine

and my love

is gold

I'm worth

every moment spent

every tear that rolled

My beautiful soul

is worth all the

ugly reflections

you've seen

in the physical realm

I'm worth

shedding all the judgments

that uphold your molds

It's not as hard

as it seems

to face the mirror

And say, "I'm sorry."

Maybe one day

you'll learn

Not to let

the sands of time

turn to glass

Wasting your time hating

your own reflection

instead of bathing

in the pristine waters

of your divinity

When you could have

time traveled to eternity

in our love time-machine

When you could have been

baptized in the ocean

of a goddess’ being
