Damaged Goods

When I look into the mirror, what do I see?

Do I see the real me? Am I even still here? I feel as if I've lost myself somewhere down this long journey that I call my life...
Where did I make the wrong turn? Or did I let someone mislead me onto a path I did not want to take?

People say that you must take responsibility for your own actions, but what about the actions that were done to me? To make me turn into this person that I have become...

I guess I shouldn't blame others for who I am today. I should own up to my mistakes and look deep into this mirror and find the real me again. Screw what they say...I am NOT pathetic, I AM worthy, I AM a beautiful person inside...because that is the person I have always been. I have let people ruin me and walk all over me.

Not anymore. I will once again resurface as the strong minded, intelligent, sexy and beautiful person I have always been inside...

I am no longer going to walk around as "damaged goods."
