Description
Steadying myself I look in the mirror;
I see someone I can bear.
Then days, then weeks, then months go by,
Then my confidence disappears.
What happened to me?
I ask myself as I look around in fear,
What happened to the girl who knew herself;
The girl who wanted to share?
She’s hidden in a box perhaps,
Or maybe up a tree.
She used to love the world around her,
A world where she was free.
But the world changed her,
It tried to make her into person A or B.
I want to let her out again,
To see what she can do.
But the way things are would crush her,
Life is a darker shade of blue.
So I look into a mirror,
At a girl that lets nothing show,
And I live the life of a person,
That I will never really know.
The only thought that comforts me,
At night when I’m in bed,
Is the little girl sitting happily,
In a box inside my head.
