Written by Desert Rose
I found freedom
when no one was looking
In the middle of the day
Home alone, wiping my tears away
They were tears of joy
for the little girl in me who returned
Finally – I recognized the woman in the mirror looking back at me
I saw her beauty
I saw the glimmer return to her eyes
And it took me by surprise
After years of longing and searching for something to fix me…
I found freedom
in the mirror
when no one was looking
