What Is Certain
Location
When I look into a mirror I see a girl that is
Broken, both inside and out
Lost, unable to shout
Unconfident, hiding behind all things
Incapable, failing at whatever life brings
Dull, never shining bright
Unfashionable, a disgrace to people’s insight
Mockable, a common laugh
Lonely, no one’s other half
Overweight, masking herself in large clothes
Standard, barely coping with the way her life flows
And lastly, just Cassie
When I look into a mirror I should see a young woman that is
Complete, both inside and out
Aware, knowing when to shout
Secure, revealing herself in all things
Qualified, succeeding in whatever life brings
Brilliant, constantly shining bright
Elegant, an admiration to people’s insight
Lovable, a reason why people laugh
Befriended, someone’s other half
Healthy, expressing herself in beautiful clothes
Unique, enjoying the way her life flows
And most importantly, just Cassie
So why do I stress out about what I see in the mirror?
Other people’s thoughts do not reveal the real me
Or even their comments about what they hear and see
I need to focus on what’s set in stone and certain
Reveal my true self and put a slam behind the curtain
And why am I so worried about aspects in the mirror?
Causing me to feel the need to flee
The only thing holding me back is me
I need to focus on what’s set in stone and certain
Reveal my true self and put a slam behind the curtain
