Reflections

Reflections

Standing in front of the mirror

Words of encouragement from the past swirl around me

Receiving my reflection from another’s eyes:

Firecracker

Mover and a shaker

Free spirit

Badass

Words of encouragement from throughout the years

I am the actor looking at the script

Seeing what the other characters say about my character

I piece together a path

I see myself doing the math

Putting the puzzle together

I want to take on the mantle

Of these titles from the years

Stand above the fears

The stories I tell myself

The character I sometimes create in my head

I am that free spirit,

Firecracker,

Badass,

I always have been

This character inside me

Full of energy

Fire in her belly

Ready to reach out to the world

I gaze at my reflection

Waves of introspection

Calm in my mind

I am home
