REFLECTIONS © 2011

It's easy to recognize mistakes, when we're hurt,

For pain brings forth hidden truths,

Unveils the masks we wear in our routine,

And reveals gestures and words that wound without measure.

Sorrow brings clarity with it,

A mirror reflecting our flaws,

And in the silence of suffering,

We face what we tried to ignore in our scars.

But recognizing mistakes amid the pain

Is just the beginning of redemption.

The true challenge lies in learning,

In forgiving and seeking transformation.

For it's not enough for pain to reveal,

It takes courage to change and start anew.
