I look to you to give me validation, yet you’re even more detached from me then I anticipated. You don’t capture the real me the way I was made to think you would, my smile, my soul and everything that makes me who I am are lost when I look at you.
For years the hold you had over me left me hollow and broken inside. Hours were wasted as I gave in to your lies. You validated who I was as a person, but my worth is more than just my outer shell.
How do I break free from your captivating lies?
You have to look beyond the mirror to see yourself…
Don’t depend on others to give you validation. Give it time – you’ll figure it out. Meantime, think of who you are, think of who you want to be, and compare yourself to no one other than you. Be well.

We are everything we are, and that everything has many parts that need to meld and live together. A hollow shell is never enough. You are wise to adjure the poem’s addressee–and your readers–to go beyond the mirror’s reflection.

You are stronger than you think Kirsty. You have over come so much and have become a wonderful person with more skills than those others will have. I am proud of you Kirsty. Oh, I also bought a 200 coiled notebook for writing and creating things for my blog. I have not created anything yet. Keep moving forward and keep growing !

So deeply sad and beautiful. It’s strange how the mind causes you to slip backwards and forwards as we try and validate our lives. Love and light!
