mirror

 today

i hope you look at yourself in the mirror and smile

i hope you take a good, long look at yourself

and not just to fix your lipstick

or to fix that rebel strand of hair

which always seems to find its way

over your pretty eyes.

no, i hope you spend some time to reflect

on the person standing right in front of you

eagerly waiting to be acknowledged

loved

cared for

appreciated.

that person is eagerly waiting for a simple

'you are beautiful.'

'you are enough.'

because sometimes, 

we forget that us, too

need a little love

from our very own selves.
