To my mirror
I used to be afraid of you,
avoiding your gaze day in and out.
I would swear I was through
If we ever connected in a moment.
A monster who did me no justice,
Always happy to scream out my imperfections.
Every morning I was so anxious
Getting dressed to face life lessons. 
My teeth were crooked more than I liked.
I resembled the man that gave no pride. 
I was too “malnourished” to fight
The kids who said my head looked like a slip and slide. 
Oh, how I hated you for showing me who I was,
In all my glory buried behind years of pain.
I used stand in front of you and see blood
Now all I see is a friend.
