Mirror

I guess its kind of a poem, i don't really know. Just something I wrote.

When I look in the mirror, I see what you think I would see.

I see the freckles that I used to despise with every fiber of my being.

I see the bags under my eyes from years of sleep deprivation.

But that is just the surface.

I see the strong, tough girl who is the rock for her friends when needed.

I see the scared, sad girl that misses her grandmother.

I see the wall I have put up to protect myself.

I see the fragile, 15-year-old girl who doesn't know what to do.

I see the girl who hates showing weakness.

I see the girl who never tells how she really feels.

I see the girl who hates talking about herself.

I see the girl who wants to be better, stronger, more outgoing.

I see what I let no one else see.

Author's Note

Don't be harsh. This was really difficult for me to write and its pretty emotional. So, if you don't like it, don't be mean about it.

Free running thought-poetry often works well in people who think deeply.

You are one of these people. Congrats!

I can tell that it is pretty emotional. Your words paint a beautiful picture in my head of a girl who is strong already but just doesn't seem to realize it.

very intense!! i say this isn't a poem but a spoken word, just some general thoughts you wanted to post. its good to write down a personal part of yourself, usually makes you feel better afterwards. very strong words!! :)
