You were right.

I am better than you.

I look better.

Dress better.

Think better.

Speak better.

And hold myself to a higher standard than you.

I’ve always owned it.

I wanted you to own it too.

But unfortunately,

You just didn’t have it in you.

When I look in the mirror,

I see beauty and femininity.

Elegance,

Confidence,

Love and Divinity.

When you look in the mirror,

You see none of the things I see.

So you project your hatred

And insecurity onto me.

Fortunately there’s forgiveness.

Compassion and empathy.

I show grace to you.

As your inner wounds have nothing

To do with me.

It’s not in you to be a Diva.

Not every woman can be.

But darling,

It always has

And always will

Live deep inside of me.

Unapologetically yours,

Analise
