Overwhelmed by all the pressures dragging her down, she hated the sight of her face.
Mama said,
‘Take time to
Consider your twin in the mirror
Hold your gaze on the eyes before you
Bring to mind that time you laughed so hard you cried
Watch the echo of joy staring back at you
How your mouth, cheeks and chin have changed
Remember the sensations deep within you
Feather light
Relaxed
Energised
Carry that self back into the world.’
