Courage

You ask, "What do you need?'

I reply, "I need you"

You say, "Me?"

I say, "Yes, of course you."

You are what is holding me up

You are what is keeping me going

You are the only person I look up to

You are the one who has been theough nightmares

But you are also what I hate

You are the worst

At times you are horrible

But you are what I need

Finally,

I am able to walk away from my mirror.
