I Asked The Mirror For Answers Poem by Nev Grunhuvd

I Asked the Mirror for Answers
It told me
you can survive anything
if you're quiet about it.

That healing,
looks a lot like pretending-
until it doesn't.

It said
love won't save you
if you keep offering it
as proof
you're worth saving.

And forgiveness?
It's not always holy.
Sometimes it's
just surrender
in a prettier dress.

I asked,
when do I become enough?

The mirror blinked.
And said,
'When you stop asking.'
