Mirror, mirror on the wall who is the fairest of them all…
An image looking back at me…so different so familiar…
I cannot recognized myself …

I no longer recognized the child of easy laugh and timid smile…
Who from nocturnal nightmares hid…
Ran for safety among the dark corridors of familiarity…
Defenseless among silent cries muffled with hope and despair…

I no longer recognized the adventurous youngster exploring the world …
Who discovered love and desire…
Friendships made, lost, remembered, and forgotten…
Of consequences unaware … fearless…daring…unbeatable…

I no longer recognized the young woman in search of her place…
Who sacrificed self, career, life…
Painful reality of a lonely empty search…
Relationships, family, work…

Into the mirror I look… I see…I discover…
Ageless …imperfect perfection…
Who with curves, sassiness, and passion…
Allures… intrigues…conquers…

A complete woman…seasoned in experiences and desires
Unpretentious delicate exotic beauty…
I recognize myself …
