Reflections in the Mirror
Who is this girl that I see as I glance into the mirror
She stares at herself before her eyes began to tear
She yells at her reflection, a scream that no one else can hear
She hides from herself because in her heart there is fear
The look of a person who doesn’t know who they really are
But deep down inside she knows that she is a star
Who is afraid that in time she wouldn’t get as far?
She says to her reflection I don’t know who you are
A person who looks at herself and doesn’t see any good
But sees a person who should, could, and would be
If only she could identify her identity
In her mind life would be over eventually
Her own thoughts of the world’s epitome
Is known to believers as infinity
Know one wants her
No one needs her
No one cares about her education
She stayed strong through dedication
But still remained weak through hesitation
The feeling of isolation discombobulated from her generation
They say that good things come in time
But she was never known for having patience
She felt so insane but not free
Her heart ached painfully
But not from the beat of a main artery
But from the thought of ones psychology
She was down when all was up
She was above what she thought was corrupt
But didn’t have much
So her thought was to give up
But wasn’t quick enough to make her move
Before someone came and interrupt
Her life was at the point of no return
To her concerns
Life was just wasted time
She wasn’t smart, she wasn’t pretty, she wasn’t fine
Everything that she believed was in her mind
But to others she was defined
As a girl who was so talented
But was also scared
Scared to take risks
Because she was afraid that no one really cared
She was hurt, she was sad, she was depressed, she was mad
She was confused, she was suicidal
She was opinionated to her own title
Why is life so hard?
Why are we put on this world to fail?
To suffer through living hell
Because of how Adam and Eve rebelled
She thought all these things
But never thought to change
To adjust and live by the laws of the land
While the world remained the same
She always wanted to belong
But always ended up alone
She suffered on her own
Because her house was not a home
How could teens be so mean?
And so obscene to others dreams
She stuck out like a sore thumb
Around big crowds she wasn’t one
She never was included in the fun
Because to others her reputation was none
She wasn’t stupid, she wasn’t dumb
She wasn’t old, she wasn’t young
She wouldn’t walk, she couldn’t run
She wasn’t Muslim or a nun
She was neutral to the facts
That her standards were balanced
Not loud nor quiet
But her position remained silent
The life of a girl who was loss
Who sold her life at no cost?
She did drugs and alcohol
Because under the influence
Her problems were solved
Her body was scarred for eternally
Through experiencing different surgeries
She was on the verge of breaking
But explored the world nervously
She thought to herself
This person staring back at me in the mirror is not I
Instead she saw a stranger
Who was headed for danger, and was willing to die
She thought nothing could change her
Until God became her savior
The reflection of herself
Was the reflection of someone else?
Some one from a different world
Someone who was a different girl
But suddenly she came to her to her senses
And her vision became clearer
This person that I see is my reflection in the mirror
