The Girl In The Mirror #MindOverMatterContest

I Killed Her

I killed a girl today

The girl that I fought with for years

The person looking back at me in the mirror

That girl would fill my head up with lies

Telling me that I'm never going to be good enough

That girl would bring me so far down into the deepest darkest parts of the ocean

While I tried so many times to swim up to the shore the waves would keep me under

I killed the negativity that girl was causing

I told her I had enough

So one stormy night I decided to drown her and her negativity

As I drowned her I saw the malevolence in her eyes die

I shouted at her that she's not welcome here anymore

I fought with that girl for years

So I decided to kill her

She can no longer drag me down anymore

For I am a better person now who loves herself unconditionally

Who puts herself first for once in her life

I killed the girl in my mind

To the girl that told me I will never be good enough

That I'd never amount to anything

She didn't know what I was capable of

I was capable of finally learning to love myself

I killed the side of that girl that didn't know how to love herself

For now I am a new woman who's capable of loving herself.
