Confronting myself in the glass I dive deep into my own reflection I recognize the fearful demon Hiding behind my own eyes The creature that sabotages And causes me to walk the world As only a fraction of what I could be I reach my hand into the glass Caress my own cheek lovingly And pluck out the monster I refuse to submit to being less Today I reclaim myself And will carry forward despite doubts and fears I lift my chin Pinch the apples of my cheeks Straighten my hat Winking at my reflection before I turn to explore the world A woman undaunted and indomitable -gws
