(wo)Man in the mirror

I have, and continue to, work hard on my issues. I have bravely faced my demons and at least reduced them in size. I have plodded along with life as best as I can. I try to remain positive and hopeful but event after event has me falling to my knees again. I persistently pick myself up off the ground, dust myself off, tend to my wounds and walk on. Pressing ever forward to try to find a space where I can just be. A place where I am comfortable in my own skin; where I can look into the mirror  and be proud of the person looking back at me.
