The Realization

This is a realization I came to long ago. I truly believe others need to realize this as well. -Monica

So, I have come to a realization

Money cannot grant anyone true happiness

True happiness is only obtained when one realizes that the reflection in the mirror is to be loved

Once you can love that reflection, then you are able to love others

For quite some time I despised the reflection in the mirror

The shape of her nose, the color of her skin, she seemed to have so many imperfections

I really hated her, but now I realize that in doing so I only hated myself

My reflection makes me happy

And although it may sound conceited

It is truly not indeed

My reflection not only shows the remnants of physical beauty

But inside lies a person who has purpose in this world

A person who will change the world

A person who has the ability to evoke a positive change

I see me

I love me

And no one can ever change that again
