The Mirror Poem by Rachel Hubbard

I took a look into the mirror today and I saw the real me. I saw happiness, I saw potential, I saw pain, I saw peace, freedom, and love. I saw that I can do anything I put my mind to, I saw my hard work, my dreams, my wishes, and my past. All the pain I've experienced I've dosed out at least twice as much In my addiction as I've consumed! I've had my heart broken and broke twice as many. I've been physically, emotionally, and mentally hurt. And have physically, emotionally, and mentally abused twice as many people.In my addiction
I saw all the love and support my family has for me, how much I love and need them. I have been looking through a glass window because of my addiction for so long I didn't even bother to look into the mirror right in front of me. Never took the time to see inside myself the real me. Now I have looked into the mirror of my soul and am satisfied with what I never knew was there. An amazing human being I now see all that I am is more then I ever imagined. I have peace, love, joy, freedom and a second chance to be me! Addiction free!
