That Woman In The Mirror

That woman is a poet, whose works are not that incredible.
That woman easily falls for anyone, who appreciates artless woman.
That woman is a dreamer, whose dreams are as big as the planet Jupiter.
That woman easily admires anyone, who respects everyone.

That woman is a loner, whose friends are few and far between.
That woman easily thinks of giving up when the fight isn't fair, yet she doesn't stop fighting.
That woman is a defeatist, whose attitude is neither positive nor negative, since she usually expects to lose to easily accept defeat.
That woman easily falls down, yet she always tries so hard to stand tall after downfall.

That woman is neither an angel nor a devil, because she's in between the two of them.
That woman always looks at the bright side of life to forget the dark days in the past.
That woman is a masker, whose real intent isn't to deceive people, but to protect herself from abusive ones.
That woman always looks at me whenever I look at her in the mirror.

I really like this, but feel it would be more powerful if each line started with "This woman". It would then have the feel of a defiant statement "this is who I am!" I think you are perhaps trying to keep it a surprise that the woman is you - and that is why you call her "that woman", but when you read the poem, it is no surprise that it is you. It is a triumphant statement of your womanhood from start to finish.
