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.

ReplyDeleteYour poem came to me as a sign from the universe. It's what I needed to hear the most at the moment.
Loved it 💕
7elwa awyy..It really touches me
ReplyDeleteI like this impressive piece, Nada . 🥰Simple and expressive, as per ususal. 👍👍 I could relate to the poem, while reading it, even before last couple of verses, where you further extended the story to the wider human kind.
ReplyDeleteWhat I mostly like about the poem is its tackling one of the tragedies of contemporary human reality: The “flagellation” of oneself for the least of mistakes, despite the fact that to err is human. In a way, one is automatically led to do that. One is harsh on themselves, when the surrounding reality is already harsh on them. Not quite fair. Once again, very impressive. Keep it up ✌️
This is beautiful. It spoke to me!
