Be kind to yourself
For you are all you have
Don't blame
The girl in the mirror
She's human
Entitled to making mistakes
Don't yell at her
Or make her cry
Don't call her names
Or shut her out
She wants to learn,
Wants to love
But treating her
– or mistreating her –
Will only push her away,
Drive her into the darkness,
Where she'll forever be
A shadow,
Fragile,
Broken,
Tainted,
Abused,
Scared,
Alone.
Look in the mirror
Look at her
All she needs is a friend
Not another scrutinizer,
Not another bully,
Not another enemy
She wants to live
And love
Just like you.
She is You.
Instead,
You want to break her
The result:
A broken soul
A broken mirror
A broken woman
A broken human.
Look into the mirror
And be kind
To the person staring back at
you.
