My Beauty and I

We struggle together,
fighting and crawling away from the consuming evil of doubt.
But she knows it and I have just began to learn.
She smiles lovingly at my efforts to change my mindset,
never faltering in her support as I look through her eyes in the mirror.

She's been holding my hand the entire time,
squeezing her reassurances as my heart squeezes out the tears.
"Its a process..." I hear her whisper and I take a deep breath,
putting my trust into that belief.
To her, perfection is not key but patience.

I know I will get there.
I know she will be there when I reach the summit of this climb.
But even more comforting than that,
I know she will be there for the rest of my life.
And as a pair, a beautiful friendship,
we will rule our world and my life.
My beauty and I.

This is something I can relate to very well. Realizing that your beauty comes from within and is reflected on the outside is indeed a process. And when you do reach that summit, its such an empowering, wonderful feeling.

A beautiful and hopeful poem. We must be confident in love to open up locked doors and free ourselves of fear. A strong ending to a outstanding poem.
