Moving On

She looks in the mirror,
but instead of her own reflection,
she sees a girl she doesn't know,
a girl with puffy bloodshot eyes,
tear stained cheeks,
then she realizes,
that girl in the mirror,
is herself.

She hates what she sees,
tells herself,
"What is wrong with me,"
memories play through her mind,
what if this,
what if that,
the twinkle in her eye is gone,
no more sparkling smile,
no more nonstop laughter,
her spirit is gone.

She punches the mirror,
hates the reflection she sees,
yells enough is enough,
i need to move on,
no more tears,
no more hurting,
shes starting over,
moving on with her life.

Day by day,
step by step,
she sticks to her word,
to move on with her life,
since that day she punched the mirror,
no more tears,
no more reminiscing of the past,
only moving forward,
slowly but surely,
she knows in time she'll be okay.

She smiles more,
no more tear stained cheeks,
her thoughts are clear,
shes still struggling to get by,
but when she looks in the mirror,
she doesn't see that miserable girl,
but her own reflection looking back,
no longer a broken girl.

She thanks god for the past,
for all the hurt,
its made her a stronger person,
she knows now,
nothing can get her down,
shes moving on,
taking it day by day,
waiting the day she meets her prince,
the one who won't break her heart.

As she looks in the mirror,
she whispers to herself,
I deserve the best,
and I'll get him,
she smiles to herself,
wipes away that single tear,
laughs to herself,
for being so stupid,
and makes herself a promise,
" I will move on and forget the past."<3
