Her Reflection

Her Reflection
She resists me, not forthcoming, stubborn
is it me she is fighting or the reflection in her mirror
initiating a battle with no reasonable cause
conflict raging through and through

Anger runs ramped through her veins
taking over her entire being
defiance seems to be her only friend
I sit helplessly waiting for her to find her true self

Holding her close to me, I whisper encouragement
sharing with her the profound love, in my heart
reaching out, but never reaching her
she stares at me, with blank angry eyes

I know she is in there somewhere
that her heart is capable of love
though, it is her demons, that have trapped it
Encasing her love in their armor

Unable to trust, she lashes out
Spewing words that she knows will hurt deeply
Feeling better only when tears stream down my face
is it me she is fighting or the reflection in her mirror

    Beautiful,
    I hope that things with you and your baby girl are doing better. I hope that she is opening up to you and trusting the love you share with her.

    A very deep poem of probing ones self,
    the feelings are clear within the wording,
    and makes one feel and ponder.
    Thanks for sharing,
    Warm thoughts
