Trying To Love Myself
I look in the mirror
and try
so hard to see something pretty
something attractive
someone worth looking at
someone worth loving
but all I see
are the tears I have cried
the promises I have broken
the dreams I have given up on
the suffering I endured
the screaming I have done
the hurt I caused
the past and what was
and what can never be
and what I wish was
and what I wish I was
but I'm not
and never will be
I'm just me
and I'm trying to love
all of which that encompasses
