May 2020
She walked past her mirror once again
Not glancing at her tired reflection
Crippled with fear to see her own pain
Pain that has turned into an addiction

She didn't feel worthy anymore
She didn't remember what hope used to be for
She has let her thoughts do it all
The thinking, the overthinking, that's just all

Her warrior heart was no longer defending her
For she has failed her, filling her soul with doubt
Doubt that she has tried to tear down, cast out
But in vain, as she could not face herself, as her

In the midst of the despair, a voice whispered
In the coldness of the night, she heard a soft melody
Murmuring words of hope, words of those who survived
Survived the war of their souls against their deepest fears

"You're enough", she heard,
"You're enough", she heard again
A voice, coming within her soul, like a Shepherd
Fighting to be heard above her pain

"You're enough", she heard all over and over
And this time, she chose to believe it
As she smiled at the fierce survivor in her mirror
No longer afraid of her reflection, as she was enough.
You are enough, you don't have to prove anything to anybody, mostly to yourself. Accept yourself before anybody else does it.
