The Mirror Infront of Me

I look in the mirror What do I see? I see a teenage girl begging to be understood I see a teenage girl who hates what she has become Full of hate and rage Looking harder I see all the pain I've caused I see my family in tears and what I've done to myself. The burns, cuts, the chains, and the stitches are a constant reminder of who I've become, what I've become and who I'm becoming *Does that make since?* I look in the mirror What do I see? I see a teenage girl wanting to laugh Wanting to cry a good cry just because shes happy Wanting to live in peace and unafraid of her past I dont want to live in fear, in rage, in sadness, and in the shadows I dont want to be looked down apon, or pushed asaide I want to shine, to show my parents that I am a new person The mirror in front of me Is a teenage girl who can only change if she wants to And those changes will be made today
