The Mirror

I wake up
the mirror reflecting me
not loving
but accepting what I see
the easy part was finding all of my mistakes
hard to find a feeling apart from hate
for what this mirror shows
a feeling you might know

all my scars and all my flaws
made me who I am
battling my demons
made me a man
and I'll add some more scars
cause I am not quite done
transition to a stronger self
has just begun

sometimes
the doubts I used to know
come up
and hit me like a stone
they leave me lost alone and I'm tumbling
at war with my own self and caught up within
but struggle lets me grow
and while I grow it shows

all my scars and all my flaws
made me who I am
battling my demons
made me a man
and I'll add some more scars
cause I am not quite done
transition to a stronger self
has just begun
