girl meets WOMAN

I once looked in the mirror and saw a girl

Who had been broken by the harshness of men

Their words ate at her subconscious

And she started to believe all of them

I once looked in the mirror and saw a girl

Who saw more flaws that she did beauty

The pressures from society and social media

Began impacting her self-esteem, truly

I once looked in the mirror and saw a girl

Who was held captive by her own insecurities

So instead of highlighting her inner goddess

She had tunnel vision on all her impurities

I now look in the mirror and see a WOMAN

Who is touch with her confidence and soul

Who doesn't need to the opinions of others

To confirm her beauty and make her feel whole

Her bravery could inspire a wolf

Her love overflows the sturdiest of dams

I simply admire her entire being

Because I am in love with the woman I am.

and if we can learn to love ourselves...we will find that it is much easier for others to love us as well...and love who we really are, not what they all want us to be.

it took a while for me to understand this concept, but painfully true.

Beautiful, a real coming of age but not as we know it traditionally, for we live in a very different world now with not only societal pressures but those of social media too. I liked this a lot.

thank you. social media can really be a pain for young women. we compare our bodies and lives to those who have surgery or fake it for the camera. thank you.
