I looked in the mirror after they left and stared at my reflection.
I gazed into my eyes and then I started to question.

Who is this person that I see?
I know it's not me but how can that be?

For decades I never looked,
cuz I didn't want see.

I thought that I was evil.
Strange? No, not if you knew.

Finally, I looked and what did i see?
A strong woman. A survivor indeed.

But I was in pieces, too many pieces.
That is what they did to me.

This survivor worked very hard.
Though jigsaw puzzles aren't my thing.

Every day when I looked in the mirror,
I saw a strong survivor and all her parts.

But then to my disbelief,
all of her parts abandoned her.

My reflection now show eyes that are dull.
They are empty, they're not mine anymore.

I keep staring hoping to find,
something familiar, wanting it to be mine.

I want to cry but I'm too numb to feel.
I'm dying inside, yet it doesn't seem real.

Maybe this is all just a dream.
When I wake will I be seen?

ty for listening

A wonderful poem, you are a survivor indeed sis. praise the Lord because Jesus is in there shining through.
God bless Ann Thanks for sharing,
Love in Jesus, from Bro True.

They have not abandoned you. Maybe they are letting you see that strong woman you are because they are not needed as much anymore. And as those pieces get put back into place, you will not feel lost anymore because their strengths will again be your strengths... no longer hollow
