What I feared
Never came to pass
The mirror
Did not crack
In reprisal of my gaze
I am forgiven

This piece is quite personal and I am not certain it translates outside of my head space
So here I have written a super simple poem to clarify
When I was young
I felt myself a monster
So I saw myself
Through a monster’s eyes
As a woman
I have found the child
And through forgiveness
Discovered within
A unique and indomitable beauty
