Reflection

A scarred up brain once took control

In my mirror showed my soul

Bearing fear and constant dread

Things I thought, better left unsaid

Stars and looks I used to believe

An ugly reflection became my peeve

Hating myself drove me Insane

"God will you help me?" I'd cry and start praying

Worthlessness became my name

Embedded in my head I played their game

Fear and lies became my god

Bowing down to self hates rod

Mirrors shattered I hated myself

Every reflection destroying my health

Trusting their word, I knew they were wrong

But it wouldn't matter once I was gone

Ask what I saw when I stared in a mirror?

Nothing seemed right, imperfection was there

Putting myself down, tears would flow

The truth of what I saw was an ugly thing to show

It took me years to overcome

What had happened, where I was from

To look in the mirror and finally see

A beautiful person staring back at me

I wasn't a mistake thrown away

God doesn't make those, despite what they say

He made me perfect in His own image

And to live life in Him is such a privilege

When I give up my hurts and step aside

Giving Him control, giving up my pride

He heals my fears gives me life with purpose

Everyday amazes me leaving me breathless

A holy perfect God picked up this broken girl

When death was hope, He called me His pearl

Giving me an Identity in Him

My mirror reflection will never dim
