"Know your flaws"
  by touchdapearl2


When I look at her in the mirror
I dont see the young naive girl I used to see
I see a woman
I can see in her face from inwhich she has come
I noticed her caramel skin is not as milky as it used to be
I see memories behind her aged eye's that will forever be apart of me
I noticed fine scars...
Probably from passed relationships,childhood fights
I noticed fine lines,struggle
Which to her is not such a bad thing...
Coming from inwhich she has come
She rubs her face at the thought
She's not broken...
Cause she dont linger on her pass
she has been bedded from a foriegn cloth
Attimes I look at herself with pity ...
If only she could see the woman she has become
So diffrent from the woman she thought she would be
I try to look at her heart, and not her flaws
It would break her if I judge her

And its a shame because everything she needs for happiness is at arms reach
Sometimes it feels as tho she's being teased
Like life itself is set on a high shelf for her to see
But just not in her reach
She has the same mindset of a woman twice her age
And if you were to look deep in her eyes you could probably feel her pain
Her cautiousness attimes saves her
She's very observent
She's just as curious as to she as I am
because she knows life is not done with her yet,nor is she with herself
And yet she cant fight time,nor do she try
She often wonder what the man upstairs has instore for her future...
He must be a greedy man...
Was her only thought when looking to the sky
she's alone
She has sheltered herself
She has yet to mend her broken heart
But has collected the pieces along the way
Which she pours herself out thru her soul
She has cravings now, so strong they are becoming unbearable
Her appetite for love is at and all time high at this point in her life
She has also become wild,fearless,greedy of the air given to her
She's stubborn
I look at her in the mirror for hours
Wondering what have she done to that youthful hope
That I once saw behind those alluring eye's
I ask just where are you headed to so fast
Yet she has found no sense of direction
Because she has been made to live in the moment all her life
she had to snatch happiness,laughter
And attimes I want to tell her looking into those intrigueing eyes
because she makes you want to do for her
Because she does so much for herself
I want her to know
I love you
I need you
And without she I have no happiness
So I want to tell her it will be alright
And life is not always kind
And if we lack love we have nothing at all
But we will forever have something to gain
To seek
So as I leave my feel good space
Which is the mirror
I rub my face and begin a new day!

Love yourself,and know your own flaws...and change will come!
