Array ( [sid] => 117051 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Dirty Mirror [time] => 2006-03-25 18:10:48 [hometext] => I wrote this in therapy at the mental hospital to help me cope with getting raped. [bodytext] => Flashes of what you did
come before my eyes.
Your friendship and
your sympathy
I see now were all lies.
All you wanted was one
thing from me.
All you wanted was to
take my innocence from me.
You scarred me.
You broke me
and I don’t think I can look
at you again.
Now I see the demon within.
I didn’t need you–
never did.
It was me who was too fast to trust.
It was you who took that trust and ran.
All I needed was your friendship,
but what I got was a guilty conscience.
Always felling like it is my fault.
But it’s not!
And if I have to stand in front
of a dirty mirror,
smeared by all the lies you fed me
and broken by the fear you gave me;
if I must stand in front of this damm
mirror everyday and tell myself it is not
my fault, over and over again just to mend
the messed up mirror, then I will.
And it will only make me a stronger person
who will be remembered for coming through
this alive, and you will only be remembered
as a thing that got in my way. [comments] => 5 [counter] => 242 [topic] => 48 [informant] => justme03 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )

This is an excellent realization for you to come to. I wish more in your position could see it this way. When you look in that mirror, it is only the mirror that is dirty, not you. He may have clouded your reflection of yourself, but reading this poem give me a sense of your strength and that you will realize this and come out on top of this with flying colors.

Blessing and warm hugs to you,
Rita
