I look in the mirror and question the reflection because she has been neglected
I've been accused of so much during my lifetime
I've had one try to assassinate my character by exaggerating my wrong doings
He desired control of my actions and my thoughts because of the lack of control of his own
I lived fearing the unexpected due to his unpredictable mood
My fear consumed me beyond his existence and impaired my better judgement
Delusional he is but what has he made of me
And I look into the eyes I gave life to
And what those eyes see has become what matters most to me
I yearn for understanding while attempting to forgive
I pray for growth and most of all peace from within
I look in the mirror and see power
I look in the mirror and see strength
I look in the mirror and see me
