Redemption for the woman in the mirror

Redemption for the Woman in the Mirror

 

Is this the pinnacle of my life?

Unable to see beyond the years of rife.

Blind for so many years my reflection I could not see,

A life filled with dysfunctional friends and family.

Now the reflection shows me seemingly uncertain of my true identity.

 

Can there be redemption for the woman in the mirror?

Who's now ready to let go of all the latent anger.

I didn't understand the realities of my life principles,

Yielding to the lust of my heart which led to unyielding emotional battles.

 

Are there solutions to unwavering unwanted emotional and mental discord?

Can there, is there redemption, redemption as a medicinal cure?

That which brings about accountability and structure. 

I see the reflection can there be redemption? Is there hope for her?

 

Only now I'm ready to introduce myself to me;

Without being self deceptive nor having to rationalize the person I'm intended to be.

I don't have to accept nor be defined by the choices I've made.

Redemption will allow for new ways for me to behave.

 

I will see pass the divide of lack of confidence into the realm of hope,

Being comfortable with not feeling deprived because of things I don't know.

Letting my conversations be intentional and not careless in words.

Speaking out, challenging the truths of others that I've heard.

 

I see the woman in the mirror, the person she is;

One who now understands the meaning of peace be still.
