Mirrors know words
they speak whole sentences,
'such a large nose,such terrible skin'
like a punishing voice from within.
'who will love you with all these scars?'
Age-old verses to tear you apart.
What you need to understand,
chainmail to solidify your heart,
is no polished metal understands how temporary
our skin,bones, and muscles actually are.
Remind yourself that there is more to you than
the flaws that scream from the looking glass.
Meet your reflection in the eyes that pronounce
your depth,ignore empty words, and stand tall.
Apologize to yourself for listening to abuse,
remind yourself that you are
The fairest of them all.
