In the mirror, I see a face
A soul that’s yearning for its place
Within the chaos, within the storm
I find a heart, so tender and warm
Through the whispers of the night
I learn to bask in my own light
Not defined by others’ gaze
But by the love within my days
Every flaw and every scar
Is a testament to who we are
No need to hide, no need to flee
For in our truth, we are free
With each breath, I come to know
The beauty in my own shadow
Self-acceptance, gentle and kind
I embrace the peace I find
