What it takes

It takes a second for the mirror to tell me lies
For me to feel UN-beautiful

It takes 5 minutes to listen to my doubts
For me to give up hope


It takes an entire day for me to chase the lies
For me to feel worthy again

It takes countless reminders of goodness
For me to remember where I came from

It takes one word for me to feel beautiful,
One touch for me to feel confident,
One act of kindnessnfor me to feel loved,
One sweet note for me to feel encouraged,
One happy song to start dancing again

What it takes for me to smile again?
Another smile.
