Today
Today I glimpsed in the mirror
and my breath caught in
my throat,
Catching sight of a beautiful,
happy woman.
Today I cried,
as I stood and stared,
For she truly looked beautiful,
inside,
where she was finally at peace,
and outside,
looking healthy and content,
A woman who had finally learned
the truth,
That a man without love
and support
did not deserve her.
Today that woman looked in the mirror,
and I smiled back.
