Mirrors

This was written for a friend a month or two back. It just broke my heart that even though she was a lovely, beautiful person, there was still that little part inside that didn't like what she saw in her reflection.

Mirrors

Warmth in your heart akin to a thousand suns,

With a sense of humour that strikes and stuns.
Somewhere along the line you lost the smile.
No one has benefited from its love in a while.

Looking in the mirror to despise what you see,
Revealing this news struck a chord with me.
A rare, genuine beauty that transforms a view,
Claims only denied by the jealous, hurtful few.

Surrounded by bitches and life’s general dicks,
Recovering from their poison is no simple fix.
All I ask of you is to never forget who you are,
If you succeed in doing this then you will go far.

The girl in the mirror is as gorgeous as ever,
She deserves happiness in all her endeavours.
I hope it isn’t long before she finds her smile,
With a simmering joy she hasn’t felt in a while.
