Looking in the mirror,

I’m too blind to see beauty,

But flaws I see.

For they are loud and clear

He tangled me too well

Into his web of lies

That dimmed my light

And took away my power

“Someone will love you, ” mama says.

I’m too deaf to hear her

Who can love a scarred and scorned woman?

Who can?

Someone cannot love me.

Someone cannot love me.
