The Girl and the Mirror
By Risica Caputi
After all these
Years I can finally
See myself
Without judgment
See the beauty
Staring back
At me
Years I can finally
See myself
Without judgment
See the beauty
Staring back
At me
A fire has been
Lit behind my eyes
Illuminating
The pieces of me
That were
Hidden in the
Shadows
After all these
Years I can
Find happiness
In my reflection
And see the good
Staring back
At me
What a peaceful thought.
Good work Risica. I really like this.
