Self Reflection

I don't need a mirror to see that I am longing for a chance to complete this song that's been playing all along in my heart and I just want it to be free I don't need a shadow to know what I am I am woman filled with curves and a lot of nerve I want that chance to get what I deserve I don't need an opinion to forge some misconception I realize without criticism that I desire affection I see my sadness as the ink dries on paper I don't need a diary to see the changes that have been happening to me I have developed into such a lady in waiting like a princess waiting to be queen I know there is so much more out there that I haven't yet reached and now I see that it's these thoughts that define the inner me. I don't need anything but my poetry If ever I were in need of an autobiography
