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

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
