To The Man In The Mirror

Today I’m diving headfirst, to finally be bold, courageous and act on becoming the man I was meant to be. I don’t like what I see and I’m ready to face you head-on.

You make me feel like a failure. Your dark shadows and inability to be vulnerable led me to divorce, self-doubt and many other things I’m not proud of today.

I see you there, staring deep into my soul, wondering if I’ll ever break free from the past.

You know all my darkest secrets, and you haunt me at night with terrifying dreams.

You are controlling, negative and emotionally abusive. You react to things, and never take the time to think and reflect.

You have an addictive personality and push away everything that gets close to you.

I’m here to tell you to fuck off. I don’t want to see you anymore.

I’m ready to face all my demons even if it hurts and makes me cry. I’m ready to ask for help because I can’t do this alone.

I’m ready to try things I’ve never tried, call old friends, meet new friends and get rid of all negativity in my life.

I’m not afraid of you anymore and I accept all of who you are and what I have become.

This is me, this is you, and I am ready to step into the most powerful version of myself.

To the man in the mirror — fuck you.
