Break The Mirror

Break The Mirror

Ever since I could remember, I've been teased
Harassed, ridiculed, pushed around
Every word, sharp as a knife
Cutting through my skin
Lodging in my heart
And with each word they said to me
I began to believe it


I used to hate mirrors
It was all because of the insecurities
Pinned on me by those taunting words
I would look in a mirror
And would see an ugly, unimportant, bloody nobody
I would hear voices
Those taunting voices in my head
They wouldn't stop until I turned away
And accepted it


Then one day, those same old voices in my head
Pushed me over the edge
I had enough
And I broke the mirror
What I found was interesting
In the broken pieces on the mirror
I didn't find someone who was shattered
I found someone who was complete
With every piece in their correct place

If you feel unimportant, worth nothing, ugly, etc,
Do yourself a favor
Next time you're in front of a mirror,
Look deep into your own eyes
Say, "Those are all lies. All lies just to bring me down."
And break it.
Break the mirror, the reflection of all your insecurities
And the next time someone tries to mess with you
Tries to bring them down
Turn to them and say,
"Break the mirror."
