She stood there patiently waiting
For the steam to dissipate
As the mirror slowly revealed the lines
That earnt a place on her face
Honest, open and naked
Exposed and filter-free
Taking a moment to witness
The beautiful chaos she turned out to be
A flurry of deep emotions
At the mercy of her reflection
The room dead with silence
Through her eyes, her soul did beckon
Now that the guise was lifted
She welcomed the tears of pain
A euphoric and deep connection
Healing only she could mend
She lingered there a while longer
Enjoying her presence and space
Willing to take the next step
It was written all over her face
Embarking on a new journey
A promise she needed to make
To love and respect herself
For if not, it would be her biggest mistake

She stood there patiently waiting
For the steam to dissipate
As the mirror slowly revealed the lines
That earnt a place on her face
Honest, open and naked
Exposed and filter-free
Taking a moment to witness
The beautiful chaos she turned out to be
A flurry of deep emotions
At the mercy of her reflection
The room dead with silence
Through her eyes, her soul did beckon
Now that the guise was lifted
She welcomed the tears of pain
A euphoric and deep connection
Healing only she could mend
She lingered there a while longer
Enjoying her presence and space
Willing to take the next step
It was written all over her face
Embarking on a new journey
A promise she needed to make
To love and respect herself
For if not, it would be her biggest mistake
A journey of self love and respect
