Look in the mirror
Are you happy with what you see
The reflection staring back at you
Does it portray you as free
Does it show how your feeling
Deep down inside
Are you wearing your mask again
From your true self you hide
Look in the mirror
Now close your teary eye
Imagine the woman your hiding within
And encourage her to fly
Let her soar among the clouds
Let her strip herself bare
Now open your eyes upon the mirror
See that women standing there

Busy mummy who loves to read to my children. Will write about anything
I'm insane.....
Sometimes we are all a little rebellious. Fighting for things we don't know. Looking for a way out. The right way to go. Sometimes we are a little scared. Unsure of what to do. The choices to make.
(This is quite a rough draft, It was literally a string of thoughts that popped into my head when I was making a sandwich. I wanted to put them down on paper/screen just to see what they looked like.
Take it or leave it is the theme of the day Give and take but give is always my way I want more than I get and I want it now.
Time is a gift, We lose it each day. Reflect on your wishes, Make them happen each day. I have taken a journey, To discover myself, I'd lost "me" through troubles, Lost colour and health.
You are. Tempted, off the path A burning star Lost track Even the greatest king can fall Power Pride Falseness, standing tall You are.
Who am I today. I cannot clearly say, But i am a different girl, Since about a few weeks ago.
my wayward feet can't find the path. I'm stuck in a moment and fading fast. when all else fails, I look within me. neither you nor myself could believe what I see.
@eddie12309 I'll give it a try! ππ’ So very relatable, brought a tear to my eyes π Is putting a picture of a happy, well-adjusted, strong woman on the mirror cheating I wonder?!?! πππ Oh well, when all else fails, I generally have my sense of humour to keep me company π
@MrsS aww bless. Put a picture of yourself your happy with on that mirror. You've brought a little lump to my throat. ππ₯
@eddie12309 Sorry, I didn't intend to sadden you π It's not so much the physical image I don't like looking at (though a few sit-ups certainly wouldn't go amiss! ππ), it's the life behind the face. I'm a real Moany Minnie at the mo, as I feel a bit lost and trapped in a cycle. But I do try to keep a glimmer of hope in the darkest little corner of my mind that hopefully things will change someday not too far off.... πππ
@MrsS I think all women feel like that. Especially if you have children. I know I do. But for me I know its a passing phase, hiding behind smiley mummy. I could do with a few sit ups too although I am Jessica Ennis' body double. πππ
@eddie12309 Thanks. I think I desperately need to do something just for me (caring for children 24/7 at the mo, few friends, good ones live far away, no help at all from family, etc, makes for a Very Dull Mummy.... π just got to keep going to end this year / early next and hope I can start something for me by then...... ππππ
