Seeing Me
See yourself
Reflect
Head to toe
Toe to head
What happens when you reach to center
Will it be dark or light
Will it be happy or sad
Will you find a mirror
with beauty in front of it or a crack down the center
Will you be happy with that person
When you reflect do you see
Mistakes or Beauty
Can there be both
Or neither
When I take a look at myself
I see cuts and bruises
I see tears engraved into my face
I see bashed in skull
I see broken feet
But I can also see
My eyes a portal to another realm
My fingers that produced this piece
My legs never letting me down
My soul
The mix of both
Is what makes me
Now what makes you
See you

I wrote this when I started to see beauty in myself, but still got caught up on my mistakes.
