Girl in the Mirror

I look in the mirror and see a girl, Who is staring back at me. I don't know who she is, Because she's not the girl I wana be. She puts a smile on, She pretends not to care, She hides behind her mask, And pretends to be okay. She is scared to open up, To call someone her best friend. She is scared to let people close, She tries the best she can, But it always seems to be wrong. She has ideas for the future, Hopes and dreams of her own. But she doesn't hold her breath, Because disappointment is all she has ever known. She asks, "Why am I never good enough", "Why am I always second choice"? I know who I wanna be, It's all so much clearer. But the fact of life is, I'm only the girl in the mirror.
